Portraiture (Reaktion Books - Essays in Art and Culture)

Editorial Reviews Book Description This is the first general and theoretical study devoted entirely to portraiture. More than a survey of the genre or a history of its reception, Richard Brilliant probes the connections between the subject-matter of portraits and the response of the viewer, both to the image itself and to the person it represents. He shows how portraiture is a phenomenon in Western art that is especially sensitive to changes in society's perception of the nature of the individual. About the Author Richard Brilliant is Anna S. Garbedian Professor in the Humanities at Columbia University, New York.
