Is there more to portraiture than eyes meeting eyes? Beyond the
Face: New Perspectives on Portraiture presents sixteen essays by
leading scholars who explore the subtle means by which artists--and
subjects--convey a sense of identity and reveal historical context.
Examining a wide range of topics, from early caricature and
political vandalism of portraits to contemporary selfies and
performance art, these studies challenge our traditional
assumptions about portraiture. By probing the diversity and
complexity of portrayal, Beyond the Face fills a gap in current
scholarship and offers a resource for teaching art history,
subjectivity, and the construction of identity.
