Changing Perceptions – Milestones in Twentieth–Century British Portraiture

This book examines the extraordinary metamorphosis that has occurred in the presentation of the human face during the 20th-century. A series of essays charts the portraits which are Milestones to that change, while the discussion which follows - Changing Perceptions - endeavors to identify its nature, its causes, and to show the manner in which the artists reveal this transformation when painting their sitters.
