- Published in the leading History of Art research journal in the USA, this double blind reviewed article developed from the author’s long-standing and proven research interest in problems of portraiture. While death-masks have been, on account of their apparently indexical character, central to theoretical explorations of photography, they have seldom been explored (or indeed visible) as material objects outside of the study of Medieval history of death rituals. Pointon examines material and conceptual issues related to imprints and analyses their resonance for other art practices, drawing new historical conclusions relating to their impact within cultural formations ancient and modern.
