The Last Selfie 2017

Alexander Roitburd's 2017 painting "The Last Selfie" is a satirical commentary on contemporary culture and technology, referencing Leonardo da Vinci's iconic "Mona Lisa." In the painting, the subject, resembling Mona Lisa, takes a selfie with a modern-day smartphone and selfie stick, emphasizing the pervasiveness of social media in our lives. The artist's playful distortion of da Vinci's masterpiece serves as a critique of the selfie culture and its impact on how we perceive ourselves and the world around us. The artwork is a witty and thought-provoking example of contemporary art, blending historical references with a sharp observation of modern life.
