What makes stories about portraits so gripping and unsettling? 'Portrait Stories' argues that it is the ways they articulate the relation between subjectivity and representation. While in pre-19th century stories the portrait is presented as an unambiguous token of its subject's already established identity, the stories discussed in this book show subjectivity to be inseparable from representation. At the same time, portraiture highlights the way representation is inflected by particular interests and power relations, often determined by gender as well as class.

What makes stories about portraits so gripping and unsettling? Portrait Stories argues that it is the ways they problematize the relation between subjectivity and representation. Through close readings of short stories and novellas by Poe, James, Hoffmann, Gautier, Nerval, Balzac, Kleist, Hardy, Wilde, Storm, Sand, and Gogol, the author shows how the subjectivities of sitter, painter, and viewer are produced in relation to representations shaped by particular interests and power relations, often determined by gender as well as by class. She focuses on the power that can accrue to the painter from the act of representation (often at the expense of the portrait’s subject), while also exploring how and why this act may threaten the portrait painter’s sense of self. Analyzing the viewer’s relation to the portrait, she demonstrates how portrait stories problematize the very act of seeing and with it the way subjectivity is constructed in the field of vision.

Neal Schlosburg photographs spontaneous emotions in a formal portrait setting, using a series of photos to create a story... Our disquieting stories and unsettling feelings are often difficult to express to those closest to us. We're afraid of being judged, thought of as less than. Many grow up believing we don't burden another with our difficulties. That's the way I was raised. Internalizing, ignoring, and pretending emotions don't exist affects our daily lives. They impact our temperaments, viewpoints, and relationships with others. In my life, it made me feel disconnected, especially from those closest to me. "My Pictures Tells A Story" is based on a simple premise. This quote by Jill Bolte Taylor says it best. "Just like children, emotions heal when they are heard and validated."Through my images, my storytellers show how safe sharing feelings can be, and how safe sharing your emotions can be. The goal of "My Picture Tells A Story" was to vividly show that sharing emotions with people you trust is safe, healthy, and healing. I created space for my storytellers to share their stories without interruption, and most importantly, without judgment. Like life, their stories are a pallet of emotions. "My Picture Tells A Story", twenty stories by twenty people, a unique portrait study in human emotions...."Professionals have a story to tell with their images. It's rare that any of their work is created from a vacuum. Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, Richard Avedon, Mary Ellen Mark, and so many more, all leave an indelible personal stamp of themselves within each photograph they create. Having this ability to capture an image that comes from their heart, as much as it does from their mind, is a gift. My dear friend Neal Schlosburg has this gift. ...Neal is a "true" photographer; he is as much as part of the photo as the subjects are. The work Neal creates is as much for himself, as it is for his subjects and us viewers. The portraits on the pages of this book underscores this symbiotic relationship Neal has with his art." Jimi Giannatti, former Photo Editor for SPIN Magazine & past Photo Editor-in-Chief of Live Sounds Magazine.

First published in 1993, Jan van Eyck's Arnolfini Portrait: Stories of an Icon examines one of the earliest and most celebrated paintings in the history of European art from a variety of perspectives. In her lucid analysis, Linda Seidel considers this famous double portrait as social record, legal document, material object, and poetic fiction. Each chapter of her study represents a distinct mode of inquiry and each situates the painting within a different discursive tradition. In this way, Seidel explores a variety of historical practices to illuminate the portrait's painted narrative. Through the implementation of a variety of interpretive strategies and in consultation with different types and categories of information, Stories of an Icon informs the viewer about the function and nature of early European painting, and invites the reader to reflect on the many ways in which works of art can be examined and reconfigured centuries after their creation.

The world's most famous portraits and the hidden stories behind their subjects are explored in this fascinating and highly entertaining book. Portraiture is one of the oldest and most studied genres of art. While most scholars will look at a painting's composition, style, and themes, often questions remain unanswered--who were these people and why were they painted? This entertaining book reveals the identities and lives of some of the most famous characters that populate art history--from the Renaissance to the 21st century. Readers will learn how the fifteen-year-old subject of da Vinci's Lady with an Ermine nearly destroyed a marriage; that van Dyck's depiction of Prudence in wild clothes is actually one of the most controversial aristocrats of the seventeenth century; and that Francis Bacon's character George Dyer was a man he met in a Soho nightclub. These and other stories behind works by Picasso, Klimt, Rubens, Warhol, and dozens of other artists show how portraiture remains one of the most enthralling genres. Based on art scholarship and conveyed in an accessible tone, these fascinating tales of power, lust, intrigue, jealousy, vengeance, and romance will help readers understand masterpieces of art history in an entirely new light.

"The Great Portrait Mystery and Other Stories" is a crime mystery novel by the famed author of the Thorndyke mystery novels, R. Austin Freeman. Joseph Fittleworth is a painter, with a leaning to the methods of the past rather than to those of the future, a fact that often diminished the chances of his success. Hence it had happened that Fittleworth had accepted with avidity a not very lucrative supernumerary post at the National Gallery where he could, at least, have his being amidst the objects of his worship, which included an exceedingly comely young lady, who came regularly to the gallery to copy pictures, principally of the Flemish school. But this mundane experience will all change one fateful morning when he helps a man carry a painting out of the museum, a mistake he would live to regret...
