Origins and History
Portraiture has been a subject of art throughout history, dating back to ancient civilizations. However, the emergence of contemporary portrait artworks in the 20th century brought a fresh and unprecedented approach to capturing the human likeness. The period between the 1920s and 1960s saw the rise of modernist movements such as Surrealism, Expressionism and Cubism, which influenced the portrayal of the subject in a non-traditional way. Artists like Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, and Salvador Dali redefined the genre by experimenting with form, color, and symbolism. These artists paved the way for contemporary portrait artists who continue to push the boundaries of traditional portraiture.
