大都会博物馆《如何阅读》系列最新卷册探讨跨越时空与文化的肖像画意义——从丧葬面具到写实主义，再到抽象艺术

肖像画远不止于捕捉外貌相似。肖像关乎人类根本关切，如地位、关系和身份。本书精选五十余件跨越不同时代、文化与媒介的作品——从罗马埃及时期引人注目的自然主义木乃伊肖像，到巴勃罗·毕加索的立体派抽象画，再到当代艺术家的象征性肖像——拓展了超越外在形似之外的肖像画定义。畅销书《大都会艺术博物馆：大师绘画》作者凯瑟琳·卡利·加里茨阐释了：历代艺术家与肖像人物如何运用这一体裁展现个性、传达权力与社会地位；诸如伦勃朗与辛迪·雪曼等风格迥异的艺术家，如何借助艺术技巧与角色扮演来审视身份认同；以及肖像画所涵盖的作品类型远比通常认为的更为多样。对这一看似熟悉的体裁进行重新审视，为我们理解这些图像所能揭示的关于艺术家、被画者以及我们自身的深意，提供了迷人的见解。

 

This latest volume in The Met’s acclaimed How to Read series explores the meaning of portraiture across time and cultures—from funerary masks to realism to abstraction

  Portraiture goes far beyond capturing a likeness. Portraits speak to such fundamental human concerns as status, relationships, and identity. Featuring more than fifty works across time and cultures and in different media, from the strikingly naturalistic mummy portraits of Roman Egypt to Pablo Picasso’s Cubist abstractions to symbolic portraits by contemporary artists, this book expands the notion of what, beyond mere appearance, constitutes a portrait. Kathryn Calley Galitz, author of the bestselling The Metropolitan Museum of Art: Masterpiece Paintings, illuminates how artists and sitters through the ages have engaged with the genre to reveal character and convey power and social standing; how artists as varied as Rembrandt and Cindy Sherman embraced artifice and role-playing to interrogate identity; and how portraiture encompasses a wider variety of works than typically thought. This reexamination of a deceptively familiar genre provides fascinating ideas about what these images can tell us about the artist, the sitter, and ourselves.
