This piece is from Alex Katz, it is oil on canvas (1964). To answer the first question, Alex is depicting self in a very simple way. Most of her portraits are done this way. Simple, using minimal colors. The artwork looks very clean this way. I think this is what Alex is trying to come by on representing the "self". Clean and simple. The identity is kind of hard to describe, simplicity? This woman could be going out on a date, to a special event..we don't really know because its just of her.

A movement that always seems to be around for a while anyways, is PopArt. Beginning in the 60's pop art can now be created in digital media. One of the most famous artworks is Warhols, with Marilyn Monroe. This style is depicted in the picture below with the wedding pictures.

The picture that I will talk about for being good for illustrator is the one I showed in the first paragraph by Alex Katz. It is oil on canvas, and just the shapes and colors would make it very simple to bring out in illustrator and make it work well. I think trying to make it all blend will be a little bit tough, but could make it work.
