Résumé du livre
"In his Portraits Without People series, Robert Weingarten creates composite portraits of his subjects without using their likenesses. Images that correspond to specific passions, achievements, belongings or moments in the lives of prominent individuals are digitally combined and layered to create stunning metaphorical portraits, which the artist calls translucent composites. These portraits reference their subjects through biographical detail rather than physical appearance. Weingarten selected subjects whose accomplishments in the fields of art, culture, government, science and sports are enduring. At his request, the subjects compiled lists of places and things representative of their lives and achievements, which the artist has translated into striking visual images"--Page 3.
