The first in-depth exploration of the rise and evolution of
abstract, symbolic, and conceptual portraiture in American art This
groundbreaking book traces the history of portraiture as a site of
radical artistic experimentation, as it shifted from a genre based
on mimesis to one stressing instead conceptual and symbolic
associations between artist and subject. Featuring over 100 color
illustrations of works by artists from Charles Demuth, Marcel
Duchamp, Marsden Hartley, and Georgia O'Keeffe to Janine Antoni,
Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Roni Horn, Jasper Johns, and Glenn Ligon,
this timely publication probes the ways we think about and picture
the self and others. With particular focus on three periods during
which non-mimetic portraiture flourished-1912-25, 1961-70, and
1990-the present-the authors investigate issues related to
technology, sexuality, artist networks, identity politics, and
social media, and explore the emergence of new models for the
visual representation of identity. Taking its title from a 1961
work by Robert Rauschenberg-a telegram that stated, "This is a
portrait of Iris Clert if I say so"-this book unites paintings,
sculpture, photography, and text portraits that challenge the genre
in significant, often playful ways and question the convention, as
well as the limits, of traditional portrayal. Published in
association with the Bowdoin College Museum of Art Exhibition
