In the Picture

How do we present ourselves in today's visual culture? What do we show? What don't we? The spring exhibition "In the Picture" tells the story of identity and image through 75 artist portraits.

A portrait tells more than you might initially think. What image did artists like Vincent van Gogh, Edvard Munch, Charley Toorop, and Paul Cézanne want to convey with their portraits? Discover it in the exhibition "In the Picture."

In 1889, Vincent van Gogh painted his famous "Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear." Here, Vincent reveals himself both vulnerable and powerful. It's a portrait in which he unmistakably depicts himself as an artist, in his studio, with an easel. The exhibition features a top selection of major artists and new faces. Vincent van Gogh's self-portraits are paired with portraits of artists by artists including Edvard Munch, Charley Toorop, Gustave Courbet, Paul Cézanne, and Helene Schjerfbeck. Modern and contemporary artists such as Francis Bacon and Julian Schnabel also respond to Van Gogh's self-portraits.

The exhibition can be visited from February 21 – May 24, 2020
