Why did Warhol create this series? How did he select the figures to be portrayed? How has the passage of time reshaped the meaning of these portraits?  This handsomely illustrated book examines the history of these silk-screen paintings and prints  delving into Warhols refashioning of portraiture  his deep interest in repetitive art forms  and his embrace of commercialism. Richard Meyer shows how Warhols unorthodox approach to portrait painting was a product of both his seriousness as an artist and his avowed interest in making money  and he explains how Warhol selected ten figuresfrom Bernhardt and Buber to Freud and Kafkawho would ensure the timelessness of his series. The volume  which also includes discussions of the celebrated subjects of Ten Portraits  images of related prints  and a timeline  offers new insights into a significant series by an iconic American artist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44985935986741,"sku":"ByrdShop_0300141157","price":102.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780300141153.jpg?v=1770878132","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/warhols-jews-ten-portraits-reconsidered","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
