Face-to-Face Talk on Portrait by Alec Soth January 22, 2009

Curator of Painting and Sculpture Brandon Fortune speaks about the portrait Adelyn, Ash Wednesday, New Orleans, Louisiana by Alec Soth in the exhibition "Portraiture Now: Feature Photography.”

Each week, a staff member of the National Portrait Gallery or a special guest speaker brings visitors face-to-face with a portrait by offering an insight into one person. Visitors meet the presenter in the F Street lobby and then walk to the appropriate gallery. In the January Face-to-Face talks, learn “What’s New at the Portrait Gallery.”
