SHOHOLA, PA — “Selfies of the Masters” will be on display at the Artists’ Market Community Center, 114 Richardson Ave., for the month of August. There will be a reception on August 1 from 4 to 6 p.m.

”Selfies” are nothing new. The favorite model of many celebrated artists was themselves. Self-portraits have probably been around since the first caveman saw his reflection in a stream and tried to recreate it on his wall.

“Selfies of the Masters,” sponsored by the Barryville Area Arts Association, includes nine representations of self, arranged chronologically from a controversial self-portrait by Albrecht Dürer in 1498 to a photo of a controversial selfie being taken by Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt with President Obama in 2014.

Local artist John Tomlinson will be on hand to make a brief presentation at the reception for this free exhibit, with complimentary refreshments provided by the Artists’ Market Community Center. The work of several other artists is also on display.
