The Mirror and the Mask: Portraiture in the Age of Picasso is an ambitious exhibition that explores how portraiture developed over the course of the 20th century—in response both to artistic movements and to the great historical events of the age. Featuring 80 to 100 paintings and a small number of sculptures by artists including Cézanne, van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse, Modigliani, Kokoschka, Beckmann, Bacon, and Dubuffet, the exhibition uses Picasso as a constant reference point, following the changes in his style in relation to trends in portraiture throughout Europe.There have been exhibitions and books on the portraits of leading modern artists such as Picasso and Matisse, but The Mirror and the Mask is the first study of portraiture as an international phenomenon of the modern age.

Focusing on avant-garde European paintings and sculpture of the period roughly from 1890 to 1980, the exhibition shows the fascinating transformations that portraiture underwent as part of modern art and modern society. As the commissioned portrait became more the province of specialists working in conservative styles, avant-garde portraiture became an affair between artists, their friends, and—with the proliferation of self-portraits—their own selves.
