Face to Face With Greatne
The Adventure of Portrait Painting
By John Howard Sanden

In a beautiful book that is part memoir, part book of instructive advice and counsel, and throughout a portfolio of portraiture, an American portrait painter shares the lessons of forty years depicting (as the author puts it) “the world’s most interesting men and women.”this large volume begins with an absorbing personal story — how the possibilities of a career in portraiture became apparent to a young artist in the Midwest who then risked everything on a new start in New York. This is the surprising account of how the author made the impossible leap from painter of religious pictures in mid-America to recognition as one of the nation’s most sought-after portrait artists. Here is the story of early false starts and crucial mid-life decisions. How the “big break” came and the long hard work that followed. Through case histories the reader experiences a behind-the-scenes look at big league professional portrait painting, with 129 examples in color of the portrait work that has inspired tens of thousands of students and artists around the world through the author’s books and videos. Hardcover, 176 pages. Large format, coffee table size; 12½ x 9¾ inches. 214 illustrations, 178 in color,155 never before published.
