"Theres no art to find the mind's construction in the face"
Macbeth, Shakespeare
The National Portrait Gallery in London has announced an exhibition of more than 150 photographs by American artist Man Ray. Included in the show are images of Catherine Deneuve, Pablo Picasso and his muse and artistic collaborator, the photographer Lee Miller.
The human face is like a map, so vast and telling in all it's lines,
crevices, expression and structure, yet at the same time, an
intelligently moulded facade in which we hide behind, with the real
truth only flickering in the windows of our eyes. A good portrait is
one that can distill just an essence of this truth in a photograph.
