The Art Channel visits the National Portrait Gallery in London to see how artists making Modern portraits are adapting this historic medium to reflect life today. The film begins by examining a Tudor portrait of Elizabeth I and establishes it as a comparison with a photographic self-portrait by Gilbert and George, a painting of Margaret Thatcher by Paul Brason and a photograph of Germaine Greer by Polly Borland. We finish by exploring a portrait bordering on abstraction by the painter Howard Hodgkin.
