In the past, a portrait was the only way we could record what someone really looked like. Some of art’s most iconic images are portraits, such as the world-famous Mona Lisa or Van Gogh’s series of self-portraits. But these days, artists are re-thinking the role of portraits, as we no longer need them to simply capture an image. In China, for example, two artists are putting the self in self-portrait.  \nZhang Huan worked with three calligraphers. He asked them to paint very small Chinese characters all over his face in black ink. First a few words, then more and more. The tiny characters slowly cover his skin until you can’t read any more. Art critic Alina Balanescu thinks it’s absolutely fantastic. ‘I find this work extremely interesting . It’s called Family Tree. Most of the text comes from old Chinese stories. The title is quite difficult to interpret, but I think Zhang, who now lives in the US, is showing us the influence of his roots. The artist has a more negative view, though: ‘At the end, I cannot tell who I am. My identity has disappeared.’  \nCompare this with the work of Liu Bolin in Hiding in the City – a series of photographs taken in the Chinese city where he lives. It’s a really good title because it’s completely impossible to see Liu in his photos. People often have no idea Liu is there until he begins to move. He’s like a living sculpture. Preparing for these photographs requires a lot of patience. Liu has to stand for hours while an assistant paints him from head to toe, until he disappears into the background like a human chameleon. It makes for an absolutely fascinating collection. But there is another more serious side to his art. Liu becomes invisible in order to highlight the difficulties that many artists have in his country. This is a silent protest, which is completely unique to him.  \n26  \nGrammar  ","cbCaibCeTgF3jbvw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibCeTgF3jbvw","pdf",2151501,"English","# Art and Portraits\n## Street art discussion\n## Portraits and identity reading\n# Grammar Focus\n## Gradable vs extreme adjectives\n## Adverb modifiers","[{\"question\":\"What do the portrait examples suggest about the role of painting today?\",\"answer\":\"The text explains that portraits are no longer only for recording appearances, since artists are re-thinking their purpose beyond capturing an image.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Zhang Huan create his self-portraits, and what message is highlighted?\",\"answer\":\"He paints very small Chinese characters all over his face in black ink until they cover his skin.
