To artist Clarity Haynes (born 1971), the correlation between flesh and paint is alchemical. \u003ci\u003ePortals\u003c\/i\u003e is the first survey celebrating her paintings. The book explores her approach to nontraditional portraiture informed by feminism and gender interrogation, starting with her seminal \u003ci\u003eThe Breast\/Chest Portrait Project\u003c\/i\u003e, ongoing for the past 25 years; her series of trompe l'oeil \u003ci\u003eAltars\u003c\/i\u003e; and her new \u003ci\u003eCrowning\u003c\/i\u003e series. With her depictions of blood, Haynes revels in the abject and transcendent, in defiance of the taboo subject of childbirth in the history of art. Her queer activist point of view shifts the gaze to a decidedly visceral, sensual engagement with paint, challenging what bodies can be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 152\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 12.2 x 9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 20, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47402820862173,"sku":"9798218181932","price":48.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/3auIP_BNkr9798218181932.webp?v=1771096127","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/clarity-haynes-portals-hardcover","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
