American Faces: A Cultural History of Portraiture and Identity

Sponsored by:
Museum of Art
OPENING AND RECEPTION Since the arrival of the first itinerant portrait painters in the colonies, Americans have created portraits to commemorate loved ones, glorify the famous, establish national myths, and honor shared heroes. Whether on canvas, in stone, in bronze, on film, or in binary code, we spend considerable time creating, contemplating, and collecting our likenesses. This exhibit, which brings together 90 portraits from more than 20 collections, explores and explains Americans’ 300-year fascination with images of themselves. Members only event for Friends of the Art Museum.

Making Sense of our Selfie Nation

Sponsored by:
Museum of Art
Richard Saunders, director of the Middlebury College Museum of Art and author of “American Faces: A Cultural History of Portraiture and Identity.” Today selfies are everywhere. In 2015 Snapchat reported that almost 9,000 images were posted to its site each second and of these 5% were selfies. But how has modern technology and the proliferation of the selfie changed how Americans, as well as people most everywhere, choose to retain and share with others images of themselves?
