"Recent events have pushed artists to visualize ideas of closeness in a new light. Kinship, published on the occasion of the National Portrait Gallery's tenth ""Portraiture Now"" exhibition, features the work of eight leading contemporary artists who explore familial relationships through photography, painting, sculpture, and performance.

Contemporary portraiture offers a way to consider the mutable yet enduring qualities of familial relationships and the internal and external forces that affect our bonds with others. For example, interpretations of distance - whether emotional, physical, or geographical - have recently become more fraught. By recognizing the transformations that occur in the genre of portraiture and the threads that today's portraits share, we can better understand the universality and specificity of kinship.

Reviews for Kinship

"""Kinship. . . asks a critical question: What is kinship in the United States today, and how is it evolving? . . . Throughout, the book communicates a sense of kinship as meaning more than blood, but the subjects in focus are largely blood relations. The word 'kin' indeed comes from a Proto-Indo-European word meaning 'to give birth to, ' and the artists grapple with the tensions therein, where perhaps the expectations of genetic kinship heighten family tensions and dysfunction over the course of decades.""-- ""Hyperallergic"""
