The lure of the biographical zooms in on the supposed relationship between the art
and the personal image of artists. The book explores how visual artists use their
personal history and image to make a name for themselves, and how they try to control
how their artistic output is interpreted. At the same time, it investigates how other
parties such as art critics, biographers, photographers, filmmakers, art historians
and art dealers link artists' lives to their work. The framework for studying the
(self-)representation of artists focuses on the textual and visual means used by artists
as well as others. Through three detailed case studies of the image and work of French
sculptor Auguste Rodin, American painter Georgia O'Keeffe, and British painter Francis
Bacon, the book demonstrates what mechanisms and strategies are at play in creating
the artist's image, from the nineteenth to the late-twentieth century, and, in addition,
proposes a model for future research into questions of (self-)representation.
