How is a #portrait typically made? In 'Constructing and using the portrait sitting as an art-historical research object', Dawn Kanter argues against the prevalent view that it is solely up to the #artist who creates the portrait. Drawing on the art history of portraits in the National Portrait Gallery (London, UK), Kanter shows that the #sitter is often just as important in impact on the final result. #AesthInv20232@philosophy@arthistory
