The human form may be the oldest and most prevalent subject in the visual arts. From ancient cave paintings to portraits of royalty, the human form provides a surrogate, or avatar, for the viewer, thereby altering our experience and perception of art, and holding up a mirror to our shared humanity. This exhibition will explore the human form and face in myriad ways in works from the Sears permanent collection, as well as works from top regional artists.
