“Each portrait reveals two things: the artist’s ability to see into his subjects, and the souls of the subjects themselves, revealed by the artist’s deft hand,” writes Curator Lisa Farrington, Ph. D, in the exhibition catalog.

Of the thirty paintings and drawings in this jewel-like exhibition, three were acquired by the Smithsonian/National Portrait Gallery, and two for Howard University’s permanent collection.
