  • aris Portraits Artists, Friends And LoversAt Bruce Museum
    October 14, 2008

    Painted and sculpted portraits have been around for a very long time, and they remained generally realistic and flattering through numerous stylistic and cultural changes. A major shift came early in the Twentieth Century with the onset of the avant-garde in Paris, with their new ideas about how art should be created. While traditional likenesses continued to be created in the French capital, bold, energetic modernists †Fauvists, Cubists, Dadaists, Surrealists, Expressionists †began to produce portraits the likes of which had never been seen before. The cult of personality that fueled the careers of Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Foujita and others required new forms of human portraiture. The avant-garde responded with an outpouring of modernist work that changed forever how we look at likenesses. This fascinating chapter in art history is documented in ⁐aris Portraits: Artists, Friends and Lovers,†on view at the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Conn., through January 4. The first museum show of this ⁧roup portrait†of the Parisian avant-garde, it comprises some 50 works, some rarely seen.
