This book analyzes the philosophical origins of dualism in
portraiture in Western culture during the Classical period, through
to contemporary modes of portraiture. Dualism - the separation of
mind from body - plays a central part in portraiture, given that it
supplies the fundamental framework for portraiture's determining
problem and justification: the visual construction of the
subjectivity of the sitter, which is invariably accounted for as
ineffable entity or spirit, that the artist magically captures.
Every artist that has engaged with portraiture has had to deal with
these issues and, therefore, with the question of being and
identity.
