Katherine Peeke PT 2 MA Drawing Unit 2 (2014-01-03) 3000 word Research Paper–Tania Kovats ‘Real Impossibilities’ ‘Defining the Face’ 1 Abstract The label ‘portraiture’ conjures an image of a convincing likeness, with aspirations of capturing the idea of self. I will investigate whether this is more likely an illusion. By seeking other ways to portray the human face, I hope to awaken a renewed interest within this genre and by treading an iconoclastic path, override the social conditionings that guide those preconceptions. Historian Alan Trachtenberg notes, ‘that within a small band of photographers, who choose to disdain the classic ‘portrait’, ...In place of persons with revealing faces we look for contingencies, signs of constructed-ness, cracks and fissures in facades which disclose the paint and wires.’1 I wish to expose those wires. Introduction 1 Cited in introduction. W M Hunt, (2011 ) The Unseen Eye. London; Thames & Hudson. p9 Cover: (2013) ‘Illusion’ Trompe l’oeil acrylic air brush painting by Katherine Peeke This image was drawn then painted using an air- brush to relate the reality within illusion. By leaving the imagery unframed I wished to further convey a trompe l'oeil by its appearance of an actual hook on the display wall. 2 Taking Apart By deconstructing and by rearranging the components that make up the human head, or displaying in an unexpected way, I wish to take a journey into the unseen and disregarded. To view from the inside as an understanding of that which houses the intellect. To find a communication narrative, which is assessable to a larger audience. To challenge the perception of that we perceive to be a representation. Although ‘Feast for Eyes’ is an over decorative style reflective of its era, it serves as an example of how a composite of parts can recreate an illusion of the whole. ‘Feast for the Eyes’ by Giuseppe Arcimboldo 2 Behind the Mask Free from observation, looking outwards, I believe we display our true self without restriction. It is only when the attention is focused upon how we appear to others, especially in relevance to a lasting portrayal be that a painting or photograph, that a mask descends. But just as a portrayal of an individual should be more than that of an Avatar, there is the collaboration between artist, subject and audience to be considered. A willingness of revelation by one, harnessed to the sensitivity of interpretation by the other. 2 www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/Arcimboldos-Feast-for-the-Eyes.html 3 The ideal receiver of such output ‘…not so much a perfect reader who interprets the work exactly as the author (artist) intended, but as a reader who is awake to the possibilities that the work contains’. 3 Here Lisa Stokes expression of personal grief is articulated starkly through a masked persona of a clown. Her choice of garish colour and visceral application of oil and graphite onto the canvas further reinforces this disturbing connection. A raw reflection of the artist’s state of being at that moment, seldom achieved and articulated through an image. Further demonstrating the power of the mask in depicting or hiding an emotion. ’Self Portrait with Clown Face’4 By this adopting of a social mask, the wresting of its persona is a difficult prize to achieve. Being but transient inhabitants of our bodies we are in a continual state of change. Human cells are constantly being renewed and those which now constitute our persona are quite different from those of ten years ago. Thus the cells of our body are a great deal younger than we are. So although we think we’re the same person, it could be an illusion to which we are attached through habit.5 Fletcher By displaying the face in a provocative manner, I would expect to witness a change within a viewer’s perception.

And within this interpretation, an engagement established. Focillon, notes, ‘Whenever we attempt to interpret a work of art, we are at once confronted with problems that are as perplexing as they are contradictory. A work of art is an attempt to express something that is unique, it is an affirmation of something that is whole, complete, absolute. But it is likewise an integral part of a system of highly complex relationships……..A work of art is……both matter and mind, both form and content.’6 Coding: The Reading of a Face In early prehistoric drawings there are no references to individualizing features such as states of mind. We have to wait many decades before depictions acquired features of a psychological nature. Not until the first half of the fifth century BC were we to see Greek portraiture move in the direction of realism. Yet, I suggest, there still existed a narrative language. With those extra psychological layers of information I question whether it hinders or helps us in this interpretation. 6 H Focillon. (1989) The Life of Forms in Art. New York; Zone Books. p31 5 With each of us coded to decipher facial language from an early age. “By the age of 4 days, new-borns recognize their mothers’ faces. This result suggests that at a remarkable early age children have stored important information about their environment: features of their mothers’ face. You can see why we characterized infants as “prewired for survival”. Gerrig7 Just as we have little difficulty in differentiating people we know or recognise from amongst a crowd. I suggest, with this transference of survival techniques into adult life, a need to determine recognisable genealogical and cultural similarities in a portrayal. And in doing so, clouding our appreciation. If this is so, the lack of connection and even rejection of the unfamiliar, along with the artist’s influence of style, culminate in a biased outcome. ’Takuma, racing driver’ 2004 8 Yet not all artists wish to depict the ‘inner self’ but distil the elements of recognition into a basic language of line and plane, discounting the use of emotional indicators. As with artists Julian Opie and Andy Warhol, where they reduce the face to that of an avatar. Adding to this argument is that of a growing awareness of ‘self’. With an obsession towards documentation of oneself, ‘selfies’9 a bi-product of to- 7 Adapted from R Gerrig et al. (1999) Psychology and Life. (s.l.)

With the shutter of illusion descending in default, before real revelation. Appointing social networking sites as the new archivists to our existence. Here we must to ask; is this constant exposure a declaration of a brave new confidence, or a prop to our self-esteem? Already the world is reacting in a reactionary stance with ‘unselfies’.10 Where an identity is hidden by words and deeds. A personal giving pledge displayed in front of the face and posted on social media. Shifting the emphasis away from self to once more participate as a social collective. As Edmund Leach, the social anthropologist put it, ’Each of us is constantly engaged from birth in a struggle to distinguish “I” from “other” without wholly isolating the two from each other…and art is that bridge bringing a fusion whilst separating into an objectively perceived feature.’11 Networking sites are equally viewed as a collective invention, a shared identity in which we collaborate.

London, New York; Writers & Readers. p.17 7 ‘Fish Woman’ Rene Magritte This work of a woman transforming into a fish Magritte describes as follows: ‘Collective Invention is the answer to the problem of the sea. On the beach I laid a siren, the top part of whose body is that of a fish, while the bottom part consists of the belly and legs of a woman’. 12 Misinterpretations Also to be considered within this argument, is that of physical malfunctions within recognition, those unable to analysis expressions, as with Prosopagnosia and Autism. And how this relates when viewing facial imagery. Prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, is an impairment of recognition of faces; making the identification of family members, close friends, and even themselves an impossibility. Prosopagnosics use alternative routes to identify others, with great reliance on non-facial information such as hair, gait, clothing, voice, and other data.13 With Autism, face processing (emotional expression recognition; sex, age, and attractiveness via the face), are abilities that are often difficult to selfassess. Rene Magritte cited in Marcel Paquet (2013) ‘Magritte’ Koln; Taschen. Appendix A www.faceblind.org/research 6/11/2013 Bodamer's report (1947) 12 13 8 Ekman’s ‘Pictures of Facial Affect’. Facial expression dataset.14 The mimicking of other people’s facial expression is something that we all do naturally within social interaction but when this is absent what difference does this impact on interpretation? McIntosh et al. (2006) compared the automatic responses of a control group with individuals with Autism. The results showed that individuals with ASDs did not automatically mimic facial expressions they saw in the pictures. 15 I would state then, within a normal response range, we are subconsciously sifting our emotional reactions when reading face imagery, unlike contemplating that of a landscape or still life. Its absence further demonstrated within states such as depression, sickness and grief, with its diminishment of animation. In Silvya Plath’s ‘The Bell Jar’ she cites, To the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is a bad dream’.…and on its lifting, as with electric shock treatment,…. ‘an allowance for fresh air replacement’.16 14 Image. http://www.jcss.gr.jp/iccs99OLP/o1-10/o1-10.htm Appendix B http://www.spring.org.uk/2007/01/emotional-processing-inautism-spectrum.php McIntosh et al.

Opposed to the slackening of muscle tone in illness, grief and ultimately, death. The Head Fractured To evoke a reaction, distilling a portrait into a fragmented state be it by cropping or a more literally manipulation, ( as with Escher’s ‘Band Bond of Union’17) is provocative. Engaging firstly with enquiry, with a subsequent following of an emotional deciphering. Where with the distortion concept, as with actionist Ana Mendieta’s ‘Glass on Body’ series,18 We are deliberately provoked into the reverse reaction, an immediate emotive acknowledgement, followed by enquiry. She has achieved transference of perception from the normal to the grotesque merely by the use of a plane of glass resulting in this frank approach. M C Escher.

Self-Depiction. In addressing the self-portrait within this correlation, should we question its vanity or by the very intimacy of relationship, afford an allowance for boldness? With the absence of expectation, the artist has liberty of expression, usually only found when applying the role of muse to family or friends. An exploited familiarity built upon unguarded engagement and trust. Marc Quinn’s ‘Self’ (ongoing project) 19 is an investigation into such a freedom. Described by Quinn as ‘a ‘frozen moment on life support’,’ the work is maintained in a refrigeration unit, reminding the viewer of the fragility of existence. The artist makes a new version of ‘Self ‘ every five years, each of which documents Quinn’s own physical transformation and deterioration. Accomplishing a likeness as close to a realistic representation as possible. Leading us to discuss the genre of realism. 19 The National Portrait Gallery in London acquired Self 2006 11 Extreme Possibilities. Realism In the addressing of reality within art, we must first consider the place of photorealism. Here I pose that our sensibilities of acceptance are mostly held within a negative engagement. A paradox of admiration for the technical skill applied whilst experiencing a suppressed curiosity. There appears within certain areas of the art arena, a dismissive attitude towards the representative and the figurative, viewing such stylistic strategies as at best, self- congratulatory. A requirement here is to seek a crack in this ‘façade’. Tom Martin ‘Put Your Cards on the Table’20 Photorealism, which arrived in the 1960-70 was a direct reaction against abstract expressionism and today with hyperrealism the re action to current orthodoxy continues. I propose here that today’s detachment to photorealism may be persuaded over by hyperrealism. A style of painting possessing a high level of technical aptitude in creating a reality, that exists in an invented world. Providing a technical competence of which an artist is able to execute ideas without compromise. Identified in part, by the style of the Surrealist, where dreamlike images are given life. Surrealists 20 Tom Martin (2013) ‘Put Your Cards on the Table’ Acrylic on aluminium composite panel. www.plusonegallery.com 12 No image serves better to re-enforce my subject than Rene Magritte’s ‘The Portrait’ 21 ‘Here, invented worlds are expressed in a realistic manner conjured by the unconscious that transcend reality’.22 In this I suggest a parallel to hyperrealism. ’Works may be figurative, but the forms taken are from the external world are always vessels for artist’s inner world, dreams and desires’…….’While variously pleasing, provocative, disturbing and confusing, Surrealist art bears witness to the fact that, in the words of Breton, ‘the eye exists in its savage state’.23 The simply table setting is not as simple as it seems. Each object is rendered with pictorial realism, yet everyday reality is overturned. The Belgian Surrealist writer Louis Scutenaire described Magritte's objects. ...’ as totems’ and the spare arrangement here points toward the significance of a ritual meal. The perspective of this still life tilts dramatically toward the surface of the picture plane, as if to confront or perhaps invite the viewer to join the table.24. Field Work.

Magritte, The mystery of the Ordinary, 1926–1938 September 2013 22 13 To test my hypotheses, (as stated in my introduction)25 I set a practical, collaborative experiment within my peer group. I asked the group to focus on the separate components that make up the ‘whole’ and after drawing a front and profile view of a partner, cut into segments and reassemble from random samples. To explore the influence, that recognisable indicators assume, when assembled in unexpected and unfamiliar formats. Paying attention to an individual’s unique ‘markers’, which separate us in recognition. I chose this poster as a demonstration example.26 A montage of segments from six portraits found within the British National Portrait Gallery placed together to produce an assemblage, which would be readily recognisable to broad audience. There followed a group discussion, where at first there was a passive reaction to the original representational images, with a conscious attention on technique and likeness. A more animated discussion followed in critiquing the assembled montages. Introduction to K. Peeke 3000 word essay ‘ Deconstructing the components of the human head, with a possibility of rearrangement or displaying in an unexpected way. To find a communication narrative, which is assessable to a larger audience.’ 26 The six segments are from portraits of: Ceri Richards, Sir Laurence Olivier, Frank Leavis, Graham Sutherland, Julian Travelyan, Sir John Pope- Hennessy. Alan Fletcher, (2001) ‘The Art of Looking Sideways’. London; Phaidon. 25 14 In summery, the outcome to this exercise was interesting in the images produced and the responses to them. In some of the composites there were recognisable elements to identification and not necessarily the eyes. Although glasses and their extra layer would not appear to be noted as such, reinforcing the idea of a visual editing. A varying strength of line was accepted within the composition. Subliminal indicators, such as the brow and hairline in one was sufficient to suggest a likeness to the Queen Elizabeth further demonstrating the ‘coding’ we seek in making sense of and identifying a face All but one of the students chose the traditional front viewpoint in their compilations possibly to maximise the number of elements of recognition. Wishing to denote a three- dimensional stance, this student chose one profile element. 15 The strongest element overriding that of identification was when an emotive element was introduced. Arising from the discussion, was how the altered images differed from the original sense of person and yet there was still a possibility of recognition. As a group, there was a stronger connection and excitement to the reassembled pieces than the originals before deconstruction. Overall, an acknowledgement to the rationale behind my thesis, an altered portrayal connects more profoundly.27 Conclusion So how are we to define a face? As a coded map to recognition, a façade protecting our true self from intrusion, or a set of physiological reactions to other nuances? Should we take it at face value or know it to be a result of learned expectations? 27 Copyright of images: Israel Saeta Cabrera, Qian Lin, Peiying Zhou, Guoxin Fu, Yadong Wu, Ana Luisa Menezes, and Banrou Xiao. 16 All these factors enter into how we present and perceive this, the expressive and revealing canvas of who we are, or wish to be. Whether it is a mirror or a mask, engagement in portrayal should be equally assigned to artist and viewer. Appendices. Appendix A www.faceblind.org/research 6/11/2013 Bodamer's report (1947) He referred to their condition as prosopagnosia, which he coined by combining the Greek word for face (prosopon) with the medical term for recognition impairment (agnosia). Most of the cases of prosopagnosia that have been documented have been due to brain damage suffered after maturity from head trauma, stroke, and degenerative diseases. In contrast, in cases of developmental prosopagnosia, the onset of prosopagnosia occurred prior to developing normal face recognition abilities (adult levels of face recognition are reached during teenage years). Appendix B http://www.spring.org.uk/2007/01/emotional-processing-in-autismspectrum.php McIntosh et al. (2006) compared the automatic responses of a control group with individuals with ASDs by using facial EMG to measure movement of the major 17 cheek and brow muscles. There were two phases to the experiment, in the first participants simply watched a screen on which were displayed different pictures of happy and sad faces. In the second, participants were asked to copy the expression they saw in the picture. The results showed that individuals with ASDs did not automatically mimic facial expressions they saw in the pictures, as did the control group. On the other hand, they had no problem imitating facial expression explicitly, indeed they were better at imitation than the control group. McIntosh et al. (2006) argue that this fact rules out alternative explanations of their results which include the individuals with ASDs having problems in perceiving the faces, praxis, or understanding the task they were carrying out.
