Bildende Künstler im Fotoporträt : Freundschaft zwischen Porträtfotografen und Künstlermodellen?

Abstract

To define the social interactions of a photographer and the portrayed artist as friendship is a recurring topos in art. However, only in some instances can the photographic portrait fulfill the concrete visibility represented in romantic paintings. Do the attributes of portraiture of a friend remain as unspecified as the hope for authenticity and intimacy ascribed to the term friendship?
