Often fractured and disquieting, Quinn's portraiture embraces the flawed dimensions of human character, extending a generosity to aesthetic qualities traditionally deemed deviant. \u003ci\u003eSplit Face\u003c\/i\u003e presents a selection of Quinn's portraits alongside works by Renaissance and 20th-century masters of portraiture such as Donatello, Pollaiuolo, the Della Robbia family, Virgilio Guidi, Marino Marini, Antonietta Raphaël Mafai and many others. In doing so, the volume posits Quinn as a part of a long lineage of figurative trailblazers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Silvana Editoriale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788836657353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80","brand":"Nathaniel Mary Quinn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53195261477045,"sku":"9788836657353","price":30.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/9788836657353.jpg?v=1788273576","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/nathaniel-mary-quinn-split-face-9788836657353","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
