Art at Noon | What’s in a Portrait? Curator and Artist in Conversation
Advertisement
What does a portrait reveal about its subject, the artist who created it, or even ourselves?
Join PAFA curator Dr. Lea C. Stephenson and artist and PAFA instructor Douglas Martenson for an intimate gallery conversation about portraiture and self-reflection.
Surrounded by works in the portrait gallery of A Nation of Artists, they’ll explore how artists capture more than a likeness, revealing identity, emotion, personality, and the ways we see ourselves and one another.
