>Everybody who paints a portrait is a portraitist Is everyone who's ever fixed a pipe a plumber, Michael ?
Here's the question that I asked to start off this thread: "Who is the last portrait SPECIALIST to be included in a major art museum?" None of the painters listed so far would qualify. Why is it so difficult for some of us to accept that the profession of portrait painter has been seriously marginalized in the contemporary art world? Perhaps "Fictions of the Pose" will help us address that question. ____________________________________________________________ Save $10 on Flowers and Gifts!
