This small exhibit is composed of a group of innovative portraits and more abstract works focused on the human face. They are stylistically diverse, ranging from the more traditional form of Emile Kosa’s What Again? to the more abstract work by noted local artist Sylvia Megerdichian, Connections. Three-dimensional renditions of the human face by Andrée Mahoney and Gina Lawson Egan create a contrast to the other painted works. In addition to stylistic diversity and different media, these objects were created over an 80 year span, from the 1930s to the 2010s.

We invite the viewer to come face to face with these beautiful works of art from the permanent collection of the CCMA.
