Das Porträt ist seit seinen Anfängen und bis in die Kunst der unmittelbaren Gegenwart hinein als eine Kunstform der Widersprüche zu charakterisieren: Vor die Aufgabe gestellt, mit dem individuellen Menschen und seiner Charakterisierung einen strikt vorgegebenen Gegenstand zu erfassen und zugleich ein Kunstwerk eigenen Rechts zu gestalten, sehen sich sämtliche Bildnisformen einem ästhetischen Konflikt ausgesetzt, dessen Lösungen denkbar stark zwischen naturnaher Wiedergabe und weitgehend abstrakter Werkerfindung oszillieren. Der vorliegende Band widmet sich der Gattung des Porträts medienübergreifend und in seiner gesamten thematischen Bandbreite: Von der Erkundung des Individuums im Bildnis über die politische Funktion der Gattung, von der Stilisierung des Menschen zu Maske, Rolle und Typus bis hin zu den Inszenierungsstrategien des Künstlers im Selbstporträt reichen die gattungstheoretisch angelegten Fallbeispiele internationaler Autoren.
