Role Of Contemporary Portaiture

[Jeanine Jackson]

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS for Portrait Artist Forum members!

You are cordially invited to voice your opinion and comment on our favorite subject.

Selections from various artists will be woven into an article for NYARTS Daily that will be a "discussion" of the meaning and role contemporary portraiture citing a dozen examples (total 800-1000 words).

Contributions should be up to 200 words (this post is approx 200 words) with one or two examples of portraits (even your own!) executed within the last 50 years. The title is "Love, Honor and Cherish: The Role of Contemporary Portraiture."

Love: To commission a portrait is a profound expression of love...

Honor: There is no greater way to pay tribute to an individual's lifetime of achievements...

Cherish: Contemporary portraiture captures elements of our world that we hold most dear for future generations...

Feel free to post your comments to this thread, or
Email: [email protected]
[Word documents with separate jpeg files preferred.]

Deadline: THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 2003


Full credit will be given to each author for his/her contribution. There is no money involved, just great PR for portraiture.

A word about copyright: If you post it or send it, I will assume it's OK to use for this article. If you are not certain, just say so, and I will try to obtain permission if necessary.
(An argument in favor of posting your own work and what role YOU hope to play in portraiture.)

Thank you all for any time you give this,

Richard Whitney

plus more pending.

Please send your image as a high resolution jpeg with title and your website address for consideration.

Jeanine, where can we get copies of this once it comes out? Sounds like it will be a terrific article.

[Jeanine Jackson]

Thanks for asking, Michele!

Rest assured I'll let you all know when it comes out.

Jeanine:

Thanks so much for giving us the opportunity to appear in the article! My image is off to you, please let me know if you do not receive it.

Thank you, Michael!

The image you sent is stunning. Of course, the magazine's arts editor will make final decisions about what's in and what's not. When it comes out, I shall let you know.
