Description
Many of today's emerging artists are using portraiture or self-portraiture to explore complex issues of identity.
At the same time, these artists are also testing the boundaries of the genre of figurative art.
Others are finding success through a renewed attention to classical training in representational art.
Artists who regularly create portraits on commission are also experiencing a higher level of interest in their work.
The Outwin Boochever Competition 2006 brings together work that exemplifies these trends.
Selected from more than 4,000 entries--from every state in the union--by a jury of experts, the fifty-one portraits included provide clear evidence of the strength of portraiture in today's world, and signal the National Portrait Gallery's increased commitment to contemporary art and today's Americans.
