Abstract
The article deals with self-portraits of Irkutsk artists created in the period of 1980–2000 and stored in the collection of the Irkutsk Regional Art Museum named after Vladimir Sukachev. The last two decades of the twentieth century were a time of global social and political changes, the consequences of which affected the lives of citizens. An attempt to compare deeply personal works of art and historical events that occur in parallel with their creation makes it possible to assess how the external environment affects the artist's creative process. An art history analysis of self-portraits of G. Novikovа, V. Kuzmin, N. Vershinin, N. Basharin, V. Smagin, B. Desyatkin, L. Gimov, V. Chevelev.
