The book is also a formally rigorous examination of the taxonomy and syntax of family portraiture.\u003cbr\u003eBlas' contemporary works are integrated with selections from her historical family albums in order to tell an extended intergenerational story, and to bring forward the evolving and recurring nature of the portrait photograph throughout the medium's history. Deploying doubling, repetition and more subtle echoing and mirroring, \u003ci\u003eLove, You Came from Greatness\u003c\/i\u003e builds a powerful line of feeling and thought across generations and photographic tropes and styles. It features an illustrated discussion among Blas, curator Kate Addleman-Frankel and Cornell art historian Cheryl Finley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nydia Blas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1733497145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781733497145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Image Text Ithaca Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Nydia Blas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46334677713151,"sku":"9781733497145","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aa2f83cc-7106-4e62-b1ce-c5b97b0a1d20.jpg?v=1731467474","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nydia-blas-nydia-blas-9781733497145","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
