The artwork titled “Highland Park, IL (Self-Portrait, Bedroom Mirror)” was created by Vivian Maier in the year 1965. This piece is a part of the Street Photography art movement and falls under the genre of photography.
The artwork captures the artist, Vivian Maier, in a self-portrait manner. She stands in a bedroom, facing a mirror with a serious expression. Maier holds an old-fashioned camera in both hands, positioned at chest level. The room behind her is sparsely decorated, featuring a bed, a lamp on a bedside table, and a small painting on the wall. The overall composition is marked by the reflective surface of the mirror, which not only frames the subject but also provides a sense of depth and personal introspection. The monochromatic palette adds to the timeless and contemplative nature of the photograph, characteristic of Maier’s candid and poignant street photography style.
