Lawson, Thomas

In The Portraits Speak, Close applies his close-range approach to interviews with artists he has painted over the years, including Kiki Smith, Philip Glass, William Wegman, Cindy Sherman. Each word portrait offers another candid glimpse into the minds of three generations of American artists and the world of contemporary art, giving an insider's view of the creative process.

Since 1970, Donald Celender has interviewed people From all walks of life-artists, police officers, travel agents, Nobel Laureates, Soap Opera stars, military leaders, museum guards -- to find out their opinions on art. Using surveys and questionnaires, Celender's work includes precise queries about aesthetic preferences, as well as more general probes into art's meaning. The revealing, often humorous results are compiled For the first time in this unique book. Museum guards proved an especially rewarding subject for Celender, and were asked to provide photographs of both museum loading docks and the backs of famous paintings. Besides the refreshing lack of pretension in these interviews, their value is also in creating a democratic forum for art among specialists and non-specialists alike.
