THE HIGH MUSEUM OF ART, ATLANTA, WILL PREMIERE AN EXHIBITION OF NEW WORK BY CALIFORNIA BASED PHOTOGRAPHER ROBERT WEINGARTEN IN JANUARY 2010. WEINGARTEN'S PROJECT CONSISTS OF 20 LARGE-SCALE DIGITALLY-CREATED PORTRAITS OF AMERICAN ICONS, AND REPRESENTS A BOLD DEPARTURE FROM TRADITIONAL CAMERA PORTRAITURE. FOR 'THE PORTRAIT UNBOUND', WEINGARTEN CREATED SOPHISTICATED DIGITAL COMPOSITIONS OF IMAGERY ALLUDING TO SPECIFIC ACHIEVEMENTS OR MOMENTS WITHIN THE SUBJECT'S LIFE. THE RESULT IS A UNIQUE AND COMPELLING COLLAGE OF IMAGES THAT DESCRIBES THE SUBJECT THROUGH BIOGRAPHICAL RATHER THAN PHYSICAL INFORMATION. THE DIGITAL PORTRAITS IN THE EXHIBITION INCLUDE EMINENT AMERICANS FROM THE WORLDS OF ART, SCIENCE, SPORTS, POLITICS, AND CULTURE, AMONG THEM CHUCK CLOSE, SANDRA DAY O'CONNOR, FRANK GEHRY, HANK AARON, DENNIS HOPPER TO NAME A FEW. A SHORT FILM DETAILING WEINGARTENE'S ARTISTIC BACKGROUND AND INVENTIVE METHODS WILL ACCOMPANY THE EXHIBITION. ORGANIZED BY THE HIGH MUSEUM, 'THE PORTRAIT UNBOUND: PHOTOGRAPHS BY ROBERT WEINGARTEN' WILL BE ON VIEW FROM 23.JANUARY THROUGH 4.APRIL.2010.
