dc.description.abstractUsing a sociological framework and qualitative research methods, Aesthetic(s) of Intimacy examines the ways in which interpersonal connection (AKA bedside manner) can impact the overall aesthetic of intimate portraiture. Seven portraiture artists were interviewed about their work with transsexual, transgender, and otherwise gender non-confirming subjects, and 15 subjects who have posed for this sort of portraiture were surveyed, sharing the ways in which vulnerability, connection and a sense of safety when creating intimate portraiture can impact the experience of artmaking, the experience of posing, and the aesthetic of the portraiture that is created.
