Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This volume presents a selection of contemporary portraits from across the world. The portraits have been chosen to show the developments in painting, sculpture, video art, photography and self-portraiture, and to highlight changes in the artistic presentation of the human form.The book features an essay by Sandy Nairne and Sarah Howgate in which they examine international portraiture, focusing on a selection of works from 2000 onwards. They discuss such subjects as the condition for portraits, celebrity, identity, the variety of media used, commissioning portraits, patronage, the return of the society portrait and the use of new technology.The Portrait Now will be an indispensable reference book for all those working in the field or interested in contemporary art. It is published to launch the Gallery's 150th anniversary year.
