Pictures of Welsh People

Category: Catalogue
Publisher: Welsh Arts Council
Year: 1967
Subject: Portrait Painting, Art History
Description: There are many reasons why portraits are made. An identikit aims at instant recognisability and is not a work of art. The Image and superscriptions on a coin or stamp must also be recognisable, because it conveys a personal authority; but it needs not be an exact or up-to-date likeness, and the artist`s contribution can be considerable.
