Beginning by producing a likeness of a historical European painting her sources date from the Renaissance through the nineteenth century Juszkiewicz expertly imitates the original s technique and style but replaces the subject s face with a decorative construction of her own. In some compositions, she swathes her sitter s head in folds of fabric or lush floral arrangements; in others, she redirects an elaborately plaited hairstyle to shield the subject s face from view. The results of this process narrate a history of erasure that runs throughout the Western canon of female portraiture. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368226763125,"sku":"9780847874156","price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780847874156.jpg?v=1763548907","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780847874156","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
