Artists Behind The Art

Photographs of Artists

 November 28, 2025 through January 25, 2026

Many of the most influential artists of the past century are, in a sense, unseen. This exhibition shows us the human beings behind some of the 20th century's most vital works of art. The photographs range from posed, candid, and working shots to behind the scenes of artists at work. In these photographs the essential personality of the artist is revealed, and an image of the past becomes visual history.

Monroe Gallery of Photography announces two special screenings of the new documentary film Steve Schapiro: Being Everywhere at Sky Cinemas December 29 (7pm) and 30 (5pm).  Over six decades, Schapiro bore witness to some of the most significant social and cultural moments in modern  American history, and several of Schapiro's photographs are featured in the current exhibition.
