Portraiture and Identity

The history of portraiture is an interesting one. Before the invention of photography, portraits were some of the only ways to capture a person’s likeness. When that changed, artists were able to experiment with different styles and techniques that expressed much more than a person's outside appearance.

Join Brian Szott, Manager of Curatorial Affairs, in a conversation with artists Leslie Barlow and Xavier Tavera. Explore the portraits in Art Speaks. What can we learn from these pieces? What stories do we have about the subjects?
