Picturing the Artist brings together several photographic portraits of and by some of the twentieth centuryâs most important and celebrated artists. Ranging from Walker Evansâ sensitive portrait of writer James Agee to Bruce Davidsonâs portrait of Andy Warhol in his studio, and Arnold Newmanâs striking view of modern dancer Martha Graham to Josef Breitenbachâs engaging encounter with writer James Joyce, this permanent collection exhibition highlights a diverse group of artists, including painters, sculptors, writers, dancers and photographers.
