Art historian Kate Bryan delves into 20th century art and sees how painted portraits and photographic portraits became bedfellows within the National Portrait Gallery Collection. Curators show Kate some works from the Bloomsbury Group, including Virginia Woolf and her sister Vanessa Bell, who dared to live differently at the start of a new century. She looks at depictions of the war poets – Isaac Rosenberg, Wilfred Owen and Rupert Brooke – and explores how self-portraiture rose to prominence with the likes of painters like L.S. Lowry and Gluck. After a timely examination of how Queen Elizabeth II became the most painted and photographed woman in the world, it’s time for Kate to step into the 21st century and see how the Gallery supports living artists and newly commissioned works. Plus...as the re-opening gets closer, comedian and artist Jim Moir drops in to talk portraiture and select his favourite work in the gallery.
