A portrait is so much more than a space, a subject, and a keen eye. It’s a place, a person, and a photographer’s truth.

We've got so many incredible pieces of art to see, museums to visit, people to meet, and stories to hear on this, the second season of Accession, which we're calling Homeward. We have a long journey ahead, but the road trip starts next Thursday January 16th, right here on this feed. We can't wait to see you on the road, and in the meantime, Welcome to Accession.

An unfinished piece, two types of silence, an unfinished peace.

In this episode, we are looking at the most iconic work in American Art. But we are going to take it out of its larger cultural context to focus on the context of when it was first created.
