Well, because he was there, but, just as importantly, because he wasn't there. He was shifiting his own boundaries. He was inching into other selves. These self-portraits are a record, not of one life, but of many lifes - lives piled in on another, and sometimes surfacing through the painter and into the paint.
The fixed points is the artist himself, about whom we know enough to write a biography. But the fixed points is the only base camp - the journeys out from there are what interests. Rembrandt's pictures are the journeys out and the psychic distance travelled can be measured as light. "
