Bad Hair Day
A salute to the bearded, brushed, balding and bewigged. A 'bad hair day' is one when your hair won't behave itself, or when everything seems to go wrong. This eccentric little book investigates the changing expressions of hair, and includes historical paintings and prints, contemporary sculpture, videos, a wig - and our oldest treasure, a 2500-year-old Egyptian portrait.
