<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Explores new approaches to portraying identity and the human face and figure, through works from the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery's collections and other institutions.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Is there more to portraiture than eyes meeting eyes? <i>Beyond the Face: New Perspectives on Portraiture</i> 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, <i>Beyond the Face</i> fills a gap in current scholarship and offers a resource for teaching art history, subjectivity, and the construction of identity.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Wendy Wick Reaves is senior curator of prints and drawings, Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery.
