Liberated by the advent of photography, artists were able to re-imagine the nature of human portrayal, producing kinds of portraits-Fauve, Cubist, Dada, Surrealist, and Expressionist-unlike any seen before.This remarkable book focuses on a rich variety of these portraits, presenting paintings, sculpture, and works on paper by such artists as Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, Duchamp, Brancusi, Lipchitz, Gris, Rivera, Modigliani, Dubuffet, Laurencin, and Soutine. A major essay explores the fascinating network of personal and aesthetic relationships that existed at the time, as artists depicted themselves and their friends, collectors, critics, spouses, and romantic partners. There is also a formal and iconographic discussion of each featured work, as well as relevant biographical, cultural, and historical information.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOrders are despatched from our UK warehouse next working day.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51930841776416,"sku":"NEW0300145438","price":28.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/paris-portraits-artists-friends-and-lovers-0300145438","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
