Description: Manhood, Marriage, & Mischief : Rembrandt's 'Night Watch' and Other Dutch Group Portraits, Paperback by Berger, Harry, Jr., ISBN 0823225577, ISBN-13 9780823225576, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US In this study of the theory and practice of 17th-century Dutch group portraits, Berger (literature and art history, U. of California, Santa Cruz) defines and discusses the portrait as the record of an event--the event of the artist's act of representing the sitter's act of self-representation. Focusing on portrait sitters who are husbands and householders and members of civic and proto-military organizations, the text includes analysis of Rembrandt's The Night Watch which Berger interprets as both an overtly deliberate parody by the sitters and a covert parody of the sitters by the artist. Illustrated with 36 b&w figures and 16 color reproductions. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
