As you embark on your concentrations it's always good to see what other artists are doing. How do they create a 'body' of work? I came across this show at the National portrait gallery. Although not created by a single artist the overriding theme of the show is intriguing. Here's a short blurb on the show, take a look at the link, read the story and look at the images. What do you think?
Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture at the National Portrait Gallery is a smaller show, but it marks the first time a major museum in the United States has dedicated an entire exhibition to gay and lesbian portraiture.

That's awesome, but, uh, where's the link? (I guess I could do a google search, but I'm a little lazy.)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that a mainstream gallery is paying attention to a significant section of the population that's often overlooked or degraded.
