No priority/international, except by special arrangement. "In this publication, William A. Ewing announces the death of the conventional portrait. In an age when we are bombarded with flawless images of youthful beauty, when rejuvenation is available through a jar of cream or a scalpel, artists and photographers seek to portray the face in new ways. Through a variety of techniques, including computer manipulation, retouching, photomontage, appropriation of found imagery and methods of veiling and disguising, the artists present their new portraits. They replace clarity with blur, the split-second with the elastic moment, reality with hyperreality, questioning the notion of a fixed identity, of what constitutes beauty, of faith in absolute photographic truth. As Ewing argues, their exciting new portraiture, with its focus on what is revealed rather than what is concealed, is curiously closer to portraiture of the nineteenth century than to that of the twentieth. Whether Gillian Wearing's masked self-portrait, Aziz + Cucher's neutral facades, LawickMuller's composite portrait of a couple, Cindy Sherman's disquieting disguises or Orlan's disturbing experiments with cosmetic surgery, these faces demand our attention. Exploring bold new strategies of representation, the artists in this book present faces to the world that are sometimes alluring, sometimes touching, sometimes frightening, but never less than iveting." - Publisher.
