Pastel Portraits - Drawn from Life?
Artists in 18th-century Europe relished the convenience and versatility of pastels to make portraits, which ranged from straightforward likenesses to imaginary renderings. This focused installation, principally from the Museum’s collection, features pastels by two of the most important women artists of 18th-century Europe, Adélaïde Labille-Guiard and Rosalba Carriera. It asks visitors to consider: who gets a portrait and who decides what it looks like?
The exhibition will be held from March 14 – September 17, 2023 at the Getty Center, 1200 Getty Center Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90049.
