Changing Perceptions
Milestones in Twentieth-Century British Portraiture
Elizabeth Cayzer has worked in the Department of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum, in commercial art galleries and as a private art dealer.
This book examines the extraordinary metamorphosis that has occurred in the presentation of the human face during the twentieth century. A series of essays charts the portraits which are the “Milestones” to that change, while the discussion that follows – “Changing Perceptions” – endeavours to identify its nature, its causes, and to show the manner in which the artists reveal this transformation when painting their sitters.
