A THOUSAND WORDS
MARCH 11 — MAY 28 A picture is worth a thousand words , but a portrait of a person is not only a thorough introduction to that person , but also a reflection of the artist who created it . Featuring paintings , photographs , and sculpture by artists like Diego Rivera , Walker Evans , and Andy Warhol , The Looking Glass is made up of portraits from the AGA Collection that portray the vulnerability , honesty , character , and emotion of both the subjects of the portraits and the artists themselves .
