About

What happens when a portrait painter and a sitter with a facial disfigurement come face to face? How can a portrait be used to engage the viewer and challenge social taboos? These are just a couple of of the questions which will be discussed by a distinguished panel including RP President Alastair Adams and Guardian art critic Jonathan Jones; chaired by National Portrait Gallery Director Sandy Nairne. Hosted by the Royal Society of Portrait Painters in association with Changing Faces.
