This Friday, you must find and briefly research an artist who created a portrait that is interesting to you. The artist must be a Modern or Postmodern artist that created the work anywhere from 1900ish - to the present.
Create a blog post that introduces the artist and the portrait you have chosen. Also, include a mini critique on the painting and why it interests you.
Here is one of my favorites and I was lucky enough to see it while visiting Chicago :)
