Living with a Portrait

Jane Fonda Jason Lazarus

I thoroughly enjoy the work of Jason Lazarus. His ongoing Living with a Portrait series is an interesting adjunct to all of the portrait work being made and shown that I have been posting about over the past few weeks.

"Initiated in mid 2006, "Living with a Portrait" explores the oscillating function of the contemporary portrait. In an era that could be called "post-hero", the ritual of living with a portrait has evolved into an amalgam of convention, irony, ambiguity and honest sentiment."
