“What I’m looking for in these drawings is something that excites me. It might be the way the light hits the tip of her nose or how her hand is compressing her own flesh where it meets her hip.”- Artist #WillCotton in discussion with exhibition curator Brett Littman, along with artists Ellen Altfest and Alex Katz. (full conversation is in our exhibition catalog.) ~~~~~ Portraits from the École des Beaux-Arts is on view through this Sunday, June 28. ~~~~~ This exhibition examines the notion of drawn portraiture from a live model. It provides unique readings of this influential genre within a contemporary context. #portraits #ClosingSoon Image: #FabienMérelle 9b. Fontenay-aux-Roses, France, 1981 -), Abris (Shelter), 2014.
