Society Portrait

"This book draws together for the first time in a single volume a gallery of portraits dating from the early nineteenth century to the post-World War II era. Some celebrated, others unfamiliar, all capture the spirit of their age, throwing the society that produced them into vivid relief." "From David to Ingres, from Winterhalter to Whistler, from Millais to Manet, from Sargent to Boldini, from Laurencin to Lempicka, from Dali to Warhol, The Society Portrait presents an array of works of art, and discusses them in their art historical and social context."--BOOK JACKET.Ormond, Richard is the author of 'Society Portrait ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780865651838 and ISBN 0865651833.
