Glamorous painted portraits by Franz Xaver Winterhalter and widely collected photographs spread news of her beauty, and the twentieth-century German-language film trilogy Sissi cemented this legacy. Despite the enduring fascination with the empress, art historians have never considered Elisabeth's role in producing her public portraiture. With resources ranging from the paintings of Gustav Klimt and Elisabeth's private collection of celebrity photography to twenty-first century collages and films by T. J. Wilcox, The celebrity monarch positions Elisabeth herself as the primary engineer of her public image and argues for the widespread influence of her construction on both modern art and the emerging phenomenon of celebrity."--Back cover. 600 00 $a Elisabeth, $c Empress, consort of Franz Joseph I, Emperor of Austria, $d 1837-1898. 650 0 $a Celebrities in art. 650 0 $a Celebrities $v Portraits. 650 0 $a Portrait photography. 650 0 $a Females $v Portraits. 830 0 $a Performing celebrity. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030043.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=06A4753EC48911EDAC2163E35EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
