Reviews for Changing Perceptions
"A well documented study of a number of key portraits of the century in which she weaves together the lives of representative artists and sitters into an effective narrative of twentieth-century portraiture as an art form."
Charles Saumarez Smith, Director, National Portrait Gallery.
