American Art's photograph archives are not exclusive to images of artwork and gallery views. A quick keyword search will find images of artist studios as well as portraits of the artists themselves. Most are staged, or closely resembling a classic portrait, while others are more candid, offering a glimpse into the personalities of those who were usually more comfortable behind an easel than in front of a camera.
