George Washington Portrait Gallery

Presented by Fraunces Tavern Museum


Few individuals have been as honored and revered in history as George Washington. With his appointment in 1775 as commander of the Continental Army, and later as the nation's first president, Washington has long embodied the spirit of the American people. His military prowess and impressive physical stature inspired numerous artists to issue portraits during his lifetime. The Elizabeth and Stanley DeForest Scott Collection represents the rich diversity of these likenesses. Most of the prints in this collection were created during the last quarter of the 18th century and, when viewed together, they give a rare glimpse into the attitudes and perspectives of that period.

Ofri Cnaani: Special Effects

Presented by Andrea Meislin Gallery


'Special Effects' features a new series of cyanotypes, prints and a media installation, titled 'Magic on Hold,' which explores how trickery is generated. An assemblage of low-fi moviemakers, photographs of slides, cameras and other devices give the viewer a rare sense of visual unrest. Cnaani's cyanotypes invent often enigmatic scenarios as film celluloid, silhouettes, paper cut-outs, tiny objects and broken glass are placed over blue photosensitive paper. This photographic print process is known as a blueprint. Cnaani's photographic work and prints are a continuation of her live-cinema performances.
