Portraiture by Richard Brilliant
Drawing on a range of images from Antiquity to the 20th century, which includes paintings, sculptures, prints, cartoons, postage stamps, medals, documents and photographs, this title investigates the genre as a particular phenomenon in Western art that is especially sensitive to changes in the perceived nature of the individual in society.
Richard Brilliant was Professor Emeritus of Art History and Archaeology and Anna S. Garbedian Professor in the Humanities at Columbia University. His previous books include Portraiture (Reaktion, 1991) and My Laocoön: Alternative Claims in the Interpretation of Artworks (2000).
