38、art? Or that you are competing with Vincent van Gogh himself? Probably not. Your idea might be to show off your selfie(自拍照) on WeChat or QQ, but you probably dont think of the Internet as a gallery or of yourself as an artist.But the chief executive of Londons Saatchi Gallery, Nigel Hurst, thinks th

In support of the idea, the Saatchi Gallery has a new exhibition called From Selfie to Self-Expression.It features well-known self-portraits from artists including Dutch painters Van Gogh (
40、1853-1890) and Rembrandt (16061669). It also has selfies on show that have “quickly become icons of the digital era.” These include one taken by US celebrity(名人) Kim Kardashian and another of former US President Barack Obama with former UK Prime Minister David Cameron, according to the BBCThe galler
41、y is even encouraging visitors to add their own selfies to the show.Hurst is perhaps not being 100 percent serious. He isnt claiming that a snap you take of yourself in your favorite restaurant can be compared with a self-image painted by Van Gogh. But he does make a serious point. Once upon a time,
42、 it was only artists who could make images of themselves. They were the only ones, as Hurst told The Guardian, who “had the skills, materials and tools to create self-portraits.” Today, however, we “all have that ability through our smartphones.”The popularity of the selfie rocketed after smartphone
43、s started to become widely used. In 2013, Oxford Dictionaries named “selfie” as its word of the year.

46、father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.And it did. On arriving at the beach cottage, I kissed Evelyn meeting me at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed”, she said, surprised and pleased.
