Face: The New Photographic Portrait – William A. Ewing – Thames & Hudson Art Book (2008) Item Description A monumental survey of contemporary portraiture by the distinguished curator and author William A. Ewing. This volume, published by Thames & Hudson, examines the profound transformation of the photographic portrait at the dawn of the 21st century, moving beyond traditional likeness to explore the social, psychological, and technological facets of the human face. The book is organised into thematic chapters that scrutinise how we see ourselves and others, covering everything from celebrity and glamour to identity, artifice, and the impact of digital manipulation. Featuring the work of over 200 world-renowned photographers and artists, Face serves as both a dazzling gallery of imagery and a critical analysis of the most photographed subject in history.
