Zusammenfassung: | Ford's interest in the portrait, both visual and literary, ranges from the critical evaluation of great portrait-painters of the past such as Holbein, to the novel The Portrait (1910), to his longer and well-known biographic writings such as Joseph Conrad (1924). This essay traces the development of Ford's vision of the portrait from his early works and critical writings to his last major approach to the topic in the late book Portraits from Life. This work is re-assessed in relation to Ford's interest in the visual arts and, in particular, to the evolutions of portraiture at the beginning of the twentieth century. |
