    'Abstract' Portraits

    ‘Abstract’ portraits A learning resource featuring works from the National Portrait Gallery Collection, one of a series focusing on particular artists or themes which has changed the way we think about the art of portraiture. Page 2 of 16 National Portrait Gallery ‘Abstract’ portraits Contents Introduction ⁄ 2 1: A conceptual portrait ⁄ 3 2: Dominant features ⁄ 6 3: Mixed media and text ⁄ 8 4: Pattern and form ⁄ 10 5: Mass and material ⁄ 12 General enquiry questions ⁄ 14 Further research ⁄ 15 Introduction This resource looks at the broad themes encapsulated in the idea of an ‘abstracted’ portrait and questions whether such a portrait is possible and viable. A variety of themes group different types of portraits that could be termed ‘abstract’. The portraits selected in this resource are all in the Collection of the National Portrait Gallery. The resource is aimed primarily at teachers of pupils studying GCSE and A level art. Those studying art history may also find the images, concepts and discussions of relevance to their study. The content aims to give teachers information on the significance and stories of the sitter and artist, the purpose of the image and its impact at the time, and to examine connections between those sitters, artists and their images. The general enquiry questions together with themes and ideas for further discussion between teachers and students are designed to encourage ways to research, develop and record ideas and personal responses. Finally, there are web links for additional research. This resource complements and supports the learning programmes developed by the National Portrait Gallery. ‘Abstract’ portraits in context Can men and women be represented in ‘abstract ways’? Is the essential function of a portrait that it communicates what the sitter looks like and that it can be used for identity purposes? If this factor is subverted and the portrait no longer has this function, can it be true to the genre? Recognisable features from distinctive and famous faces can help make an ‘abstract’ portrait look more realistic and believable.

    SCIENCE MUSEUM GROUP HUMAN REMAINS POLICY OCTOBER 2018 SCIENCE MUSEUM GROUP HUMAN REMAINS POLICY OCTOBER 2018 GOVERNING BODY: BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE SCIENCE MUSEUM DATE FOR APPROVAL: 2018 DATE FOR REVIEW: 2023 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The National Heritage Act 1983 requires the Science Museum Group (SMG) to: care for, preserve and add to the objects in the collection, exhibit them to the public and make them available for study and research; and to promote the public’s enjoyment and understanding of science and technology, and of the development of those subjects. 1.2 SMG museums share a mission to inspire futures by: • Creative exploration of science, technical innovation and industry, and how they made and sustain modern society; • Building a scientifically literate society, using the history, present and future of science, technology, medicine, transport and media to grow science capital; • Inspiring the next generations of scientists, inventors and engineers. 1.3 This policy supports the SMG strategic priority to sustain and grow our world-class collection and sets out the principles by which the SMG (the Science Museum, London, the Museum of Science and Industry, Manchester, the National Railway Museum, York and Shildon, and the National Science and Media Museum, Bradford) will make decisions about the management and display of the human remains. 1.4 Human remains have unique status within museum collections and must be treated with the highest standards of care and respect. SMG recognises the value of human remains - they can advance research and public understanding of cultural and medical practices, biological processes, genetics, diet, disease and population movements over time.
