Book Synopsis
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 - endeavours to identify its nature, its causes, and to show the manner in which the artists reveal this transformation when painting their sitters.

Trade Review
"A well documented study of a number of key portraits of the century in which she weaves together the lives of representative artists and sitters into an effective narrative of twentieth-century portraiture as an art form." -- Charles Saumarez Smith, Director, National Portrait Gallery.
