Portraits
14 January – 3 June, 2012

This exhibition brings together a selection of works that illuminate Paul Klee's reimaginings of the traditional genre of portraiture. Over the course of his career, Klee (1879-1940) utilized the fundamentals of the portrait to explore artistic, social, and personal ideas, creating images of himself, friends, and imagined others that invoke myriad psychological states.
