Historically, portraiture has relied heavily on artistic interpretation of the subject. Photographs, while still embracing the artist’s point of view, record selected surroundings and fractions of seconds. This allows for a different kind of interpretation; one based on real-life context rather than medium and imagination. For Expressions: Contemporary Portraiture The Kiernan Gallery seeks photographs of the self or of others that capture the expression, personality, or mood of the subject.
