Portraiture

By Richard Brilliant

Book Overview

Departing from the conventional emphasis on attribution and identification, so typical of portrait studies, Brilliant analyzes the authority of the likeness, the techniques of self-representation, the fabrication of identity and its social emplacement, and the imaginative interchange between the portrait image and the viewer.
