This award-winning catalogue, with introductions by Charles Suamarez Smith, Secretary and Chief Executive of the Royal Academy and former Director of the National Portrait Gallery and the National Gallery, and broadcaster and journalist Nick Ross, presents Adam Birtwistle's series of  race-defying portraits of iconic individuals from Malcom X to Albert Einstein to Winston Churchill to Abraham Lincoln. Colour expectations are shockingly subverted in Birtwistle's series and Piano Nobile's fully-illustrated catalogue frames Birtwistle's witty colour swapping games.
