This book offers trans-historical and trans-national perspectives
on the image of "the artist" as a public figure in the popular
discourse and imagination. Since the rise of notions of artistic
autonomy and the simultaneous demise of old systems of patronage
from the late eighteenth century onwards, artists have increasingly
found themselves confronted with the necessity of developing a
public persona. In the same period, new audiences for art
discovered their fascination for the life and work of the artist.
The rise of new media such as the illustrated press, photography
and film meant that the needs of both parties could easily be
satisfied in both words and images. Thanks to these "new" media,
the artist was transformed from a simple producer of works of art
into a public figure. The aim of this volume is to reflect on this
transformative process, and to study the specific role of the media
themselves. Which visual media were deployed, to what effect, and
with what kind of audiences in mind? How did the artist, critic,
photographer and filmmaker interact in the creation of these
representations of the artist's image?
