Susan Hauptman (1947-2015) was an American artist. She worked exclusively in charcoal and pastel on paper, and is best known for her stark, enigmatic, often expressionless life-sized self-portraits in which she depicted herself with precise and candid detail in ways critics described as strikingly androgynous and that confronted cultural notions of beauty, reality, femininity and masculinity. Her work has been shown in a number of major galleries and museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and the now-closed Corcoran Gallery of Washington, DC. From 1997 until 2000 she held the Lamar Dodd Professorial Chair at the University of Georgia.[2][3][1]
