Portraiture
Shearer West uncovers intriguing aspects of portraiture — a genre that has often been seen as purely representational, featuring examples from African tribes to Renaissance princes, and from “stars” such as David and Victoria Beckham to everyday people. West examines the many meanings and uses of portraits throughout the ages and includes a wide range of artists from Botticelli to Picasso, and Hans Holbein to Frida Kahlo. In the process, she reveals the faces of the past in an exciting new way. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this book is a unique and accessible introduction to the history of portraiture.
