This seminar will begin by addressing these questions: How can we best characterise a portrait? How do portraits work? Why do portraits matter?
We will then consider questions of style, meaning and power. We will see how various modes of portraiture emphasise form, emotion or cultural politics. To explore these issues, we will look at pictures.
