"""The particular skill of legendary makeup artist François Nars lies in his ability to reveal the true personality of a subject’s face, via both expert application and photography. 300 such examples are chronicled in a new oversized volume, Persona, which captures creative figures of all ages in colour images shot against a rich black background. Noted subjects cast in their best light include Tilda Swinton, Naomi Campbell, Bella Hadid, and Sharon Stone."" —AIR MAGAZINE ""Persona is the ultimate and quintessential definition of the genre classified as coffee table books. Its sheer weight of over 20 pounds and its monumental size can only be categorized as an astounding accomplishment and achievement by both author and photographer, François Nars, and by Rizzoli. . . There really are not enough superlatives to properly describe this assemblage of portraiture given the volume’s physicality and presentation. It is easy to feel gobsmacked by its content, presentation, and the artist who created it."" —NEW YORK JOURNAL OF BOOKS"
