I Me Mine Grayson Perry Ceramic Artist Portrait Pots


Cries Of London 1996
For Grayson Perry, this is an expression of an unrecoverable lost innocence. Pastiched with delft images of ladies in waiting, delicate flowers, teddy bears, and embossed tear-drop patterns, Perry creates a hallowed place where unhappy souls exist as golden shadows of the children they never got to be.

I Me Mine Portrait Thomas Gainsborough

Mr and Mrs Andrews 1748-49


Thomas Gainsborough (christened 14 May 1727 – died 2 August 1788) was one of the most famous portrait and landscape painters of 18th century Britain



I Me Mine This is a portrait of Mr and Mrs Andrews. They are wearing their finest clothing, with their finest hunting dog and an expensive hunting gun. The Andrews own all the estate land that we can see in this painting. So this is a perfect example of I Me Mine

I Me Mine GCSE 2009 - Portraits From Personal Objects

Giuseppe Arcimboldo (also spelled Arcimboldi; 1527 - 1593) was an Italian painter best known for creating imaginative portrait heads made entirely of such objects as fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish, and books — that is, he painted representations of these objects on the canvas arranged in such a way that the whole collection of objects formed a recognisable likeness of the portrait subject.
