"Portraiture has become increasingly conceptual", says an article in the June 2007 issue of ArtNews, "as it addresses not only personal identity but also issues of politics, social inequity, and our obsession with celebrity."
"In the right context", adds it author, "a famous person can stand for a generation, just as that generation’s view can define the person."
Which begs the question: Is it possible to create a portrait that is NOT a product of the culture in which it's created?
