"Portrait of an Artist" is a collection of works by American painter Elizabeth Peyton (1965-). Known as a leading figure in contemporary painting since the 1990s, Peyton has been highly praised for her small portraits of historical figures such as Kurt Cobain, David Bowie, Napoleon, and Jarvis Cocker, as well as musicians and friends. She is credited with bringing back intimacy, longing, and emotional fluctuations to the grand and conceptual art of her time. This book is an important compilation of the photographic works she has been creating in parallel with her art for many years. The photographs, taken with 35mm film, Polaroid, and digital cameras, feature figures who symbolize the art and fashion culture of the 2000s, such as Marc Jacobs, Matthew Barney, Chloë Sevigny, Jarvis Cocker, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Rirkrit Tiravanija. However, these are not merely celebrity portraits, but rather a collection of extremely personal images taken as an extension of friendships and communities. The photographs, with their lingering light and fluctuating exposure, exude a transience and intimate atmosphere reminiscent of paintings, quietly revealing the very "feeling of falling in love" that Peyton has consistently explored.
