Eyes
April 8 - May 6, 2020

"The eyes, those silent tongues of love."
Miguel de Cervantes

The eyes of these portraits feel especially poignant during our current global crisis, when the eyes are often the only part of one's face not covered by a mask. 

"An Alice Neel painting reflects the way people actually look: the tension that we hold in our mouths, hands and eyes."
Julia Felsenthal, Vogue

"He to whom emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause and wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. His eyes are closed."
Albert Einstein

"Stare. It is the way to educate your eye, and more.  Stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop."
Walker Evans
