- Beautiful new linen hardcover portrait book by Søren Rønholt- Rock
stars, movie stars and icons of the art world - photographed as you have
never seen beforeWe love them. Rock stars, movie stars, icons of the art
world. And we love pictures of them. Most portraits we see today
document our abstract ideas of what's best and what's worst - in them
and in ourselves. That's why they work. Portraiture as a means of
artistic expression and human understanding remains important and vital.
It is certainly a great aspect of Søren Rønholt's work: the invisible
dialogue between the people he portrays and himself is undeniable. The
majority of his portrayed characters may be famous, but that's not the
point. He uses every ounce of his empathy to create images of real
people. Despite the clever, accentuating mood and strong, often
monochromatic style - what he seeks is the truth behind the face.
