In D.C.: “Portraiture Now: Communities” at the National Portrait Gallery and “Falnama; The Book of Omens” at the Sackler

Last week I visited Portraiture Now: Communities, at the National Portrait Gallery through July 5, 2010, with paintings by Rose Frantzen, Jim Torok and Rebecca Westcott.  It was organized around the idea of portraits of groups.  Not group portraits, but individual portraits of people connected by familial relations, friendship with the artist or by virtue of living in the same, small community.
