"About Face: Selections from the Department of Prints and Illustrated Books"
2001-03-21 until 2001-06-12
Metropolitan Museum of Art
New York, NY,
USA
Throughout art history, portraits have fulfilled a range of social and cultural functions from official tributes to family homages to
idealizations of the anonymous everyman. Modern artists have continued this tradition and have also used faces to evoke a panoply
of expressive states.
Contemporary artists have found increasingly inventive and conceptual approaches to this traditional genre. This
exhibition of approximately fifty works draws from the Museum's unparalleled holdings of modern and contemporary prints and
showcases numerous recent acquisitions never before on view. Among the artists represented are Max Beckmann, Pablo Picasso,
Richard Hamilton, and Sherrie Levine.
