Portraits from the collection
of the Art Museum of the Americas present an eclectic
cross section of mostly anonymous subjects- individuals
representing diverse social groups of the region.
Those two characteristics bring to mind the spirit of
two master photographers. The German August Sander
(1876-1964), who in his extended survey of the German
people represented types and groups of people rather
than individuals; and the American photographer Paul
Strand (1890-1976), who photographed people to reveal
the core of their humanity.
