Faces

Faces are the roadmaps of time. Every crease and wrinkle, every tear and scar tell a story about a person's past. Portraits, whether photographed or painted or sketched, help us connect with the past and better understand those who have gone before us. Portraits are everywhere throughout the history of artâ??from Vermeer's Girl With a Pearl Earring to Jim Borgman's popular contemporary face poster to "Time Magazine's" moving and memorable cover collection of famous and infamous faces from around the world.
