THE ART OF PORTRAITURE

A historical look at the art of portraiture show a transition in not only the subject and style, but also the goal of the artist. From portrayals of stature, to depictions that provide reflective glimpses that reveal personality and mood, the role of the artist has always been more than just a mimic of nature. Contemporary artists continue to push the definition of the portrait. Staring Back looks to honor this transformation and highlight the ever-expanding scope and definition of the art of portraiture. This juried exhibition will be open to all media ad interpretations.
