Examining a wide range of topics, from early caricature and political vandalism of portraits to contemporary selfies and performance art, these studies challenge our traditional assumptions about portraiture. By probing the diversity and complexity of portrayal, \u003ci\u003eBeyond the Face\u003c\/i\u003e fills a gap in current scholarship and offers a resource for teaching art history, subjectivity, and the construction of identity.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWendy Wick Reaves is senior curator of prints and drawings, Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery.
