The Mirror and the Mask

Start date: Sunday, June 17, 2007
Event is ongoing: Until Sunday, September 16, 2007

The Mirror and the Mask: Portraiture in the Age of Picasso is an ambitious exhibition that explores how portraiture developed over the course of the 20th century—in response both to artistic movements and to the great historical events of the age. Featuring 80 to 100 paintings and a small number of sculptures by artists including Cézanne, van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse, Modigliani, Kokoschka, Beckmann, Bacon, and Dubuffet, the exhibition uses Picasso as a constant reference point, following the changes in his style in relation to trends in portraiture throughout Europe.
