Critics Review
“Focusing on a liminal moment in the early history of modern fashion, The New Taste changes our understanding of clothing’s role in portraiture and makes a significant intervention in the intertwined, intermedial histories of European portraiture, fashion and print culture.”—Carol Armstrong, author of Cezanne’s Gravity
