Cindy Sherman is one of the world’s leading contemporary artists. Using make-up, wigs and costumes to transform her appearance, and incorporating references to modern culture, she photographs herself in the guises of various fictitious characters. Surveying the development of Sherman’s work from the mid-1970’s to the present, this book explores the artist’s engagement with our image-obsessed society and the questions she raises about the meaning of appearances.

In the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, English artists were renowned for the painting of miniatures. This book explores the genre with special reference to two of its most accomplished practitioners, Nicholas Hilliard and Isaac Oliver. Portrait miniatures express in a unique way many of the most distinctive and fascinating elements of court life – secrecy, games of courtly love and arcane symbolism – revealing aspects of identity and society in Elizabethan and Jacobean England.

Depicting people in his intimate circle rather than working to commission enabled Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) to take an expressive, radically experimental approach to making portraits. Co-published with the Museu Picasso, Barcelona, this book examines the contrasting modes of his portraiture (from formal, posed portraits to witty caricatures), his sources of inspiration and the complex motivation behind his defiance of representational norms.

100 NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY

For far too long the male protagonists of the Pre-Raphaelite movement have dominated accounts of this revolution in British art. This book aims to redress the balance by showing just how engaged and central women were to the endeavour – as the subjects of the images themselves, certainly, but also in their production. This unique publication covers lesser-known figures such as the Jamaican-born model Fanny Eaton and the artist Joanna Boyce.
