Description: Munich-New York: Prestel, Delmonico Books, Published in association with the Zimmerli Art Museum, Rutgers, 2014. 28cm., hardcover, 176pp., 100 illus. Exhibition catalogue. Summary : Portraits—single, double, and group—are the focus of this fascinating volume. Encompassing work from the 18th century to the present, this selection examines how portraits shape our notion of self in the context of individuality, partnerships, and relationships. Three illustrated essays probe topics such as the portrait from the perspective of photography, cinema, and theater; the double portrait in all its variety, such as heterosexual and same-sex couples, mother and child, twins, reflections, shadows, and doppelgangers; and the sometimes uneasy alliance between the individual and community in portraiture. Thought-provoking and fascinating, this book will appeal to readers interested in art history and social criticism as well as psychology and social media.
