18、 alikeness.”However,this definition neglects the complexities of portraiture.Portraits are works of art that engage with ideas of identity rather than just a likeness.These concepts of identity involve social rank,gender,age,profession,character of the subject,etc.It is impossible to copy all the as

19、pects of identity.Therefore,portraits reflect only certain qualities of subjects.Portrait art has also undergone significant shifts in artistic practice.The majority of portraits are the outcome of current artistic fashions and favored styles.Therefore,portrait art is an art category providing vario

24、nce,or likeness.As such,the art of portrait painting got a reputation for imitation instead of for artistic innovation.Based on Renaissance art theory,portraiture was related to the level of a mechanical exercise as opposed to a fine art.Michelangelos well-known protest against portraits is only one

25、 example.During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries,the attitude to portraiture was critical.Even so,artists from around the globe persisted in painting portraits despite their theoretical objections.Picasso,for example,became widely-known forcubist still-life painting(立体派静物画)early in his career,

26、but some of his early experiments in this new style were his portraits of art dealers.8.What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?A.The changing definition of portraiture reflects shifting attitudes to it.B.Most portraits reflect artistic fashions and favored styles when created.C.Portraiture is a more c
