Portrait art existed throughout the ages as documenting the existence of man after death. However, portrait painting is reduced to great extent by the invention of Camera. With the passage of time photography is also considered as visual form of art.
The present exhibition is curetted with the motive to show the creative qualities of portrait artists of various streams who have infused aesthetic expression in their art.
