First of all, they're artists. It's their job. They do it to earn lots of money by making their self portraits as good as theMona Lisa. It's beautiful.
Self portraits are a staple for painters. One of the famous painters renowned for self portraits was Rembrandt, who painted himself at regular intervals throughout his life.

Most artists do this - it is good practice.
Self portraits come from the simple fact that the artist is the model, they can be done at anytime, anywhere the artist desires. Autobiographies by artists are a different story and are usually written to clarify ideas and pass on knowledge.
Rembrandt is one of the greatest 17 th century artists and how he painted in realistic ways. He did biblical scenes, portraits, and self-portraits. He was from the Dutch Golden Age of art.
I dunoo
Many painters have painted many self portraits. It is good practice and the model is always available.
Van Gogh painted many self portraits. Other artists, such as Rembrandt, also painted many self portraits. This was because an artist had to pay a model to sit for them, and as the profession did not always pay well, they could not often afford models. Thus, artists would paint self portraits for practice. Rembradnt famously painted so many out of a genuine curiosity, almost as a form of self preservation. However, I feel Van Gogh did this due to a lack of funds and to experiment with colour and style.
Rembrandt painted portraits, van Gogh painted over sixty self portraits.
yes See link below! Answer 2: The site referred to is very interesting. It contains several photos of Kandinsky, a portrait of Kandinsky painted by Gabriele Münter, and a lot of self portraits by various artists. But NOT a single self portrait by Kandinsky. So he may not have painted any.
Artists often make their choices for reasons not known to anyone else.
