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