The exhibit includes 24 portraits painted by Mullen wh, , working under a USC summer-research grant. The pt pose of the display is to express the idea that portraits c also be autonomous art entities. The conflict in the idea is that a portrait artist required to make his work look like someone while autonomous art entity should stand out on it's own and lo like nothing else. - Mullen explained that the exhibit includes works th are recognizable as portraits but which "should be just exciting for someone who doesn't know the subject painti in the portrait as for someone who does." For example, in the portrait, "David's Tea Party," t subject, David Easterling, is immediately recognizab] But the floating compostion of the work also has a stroi : presence as an autonomous art entity.

While in Chile, Adams noticed that the traveling that comes with such a tour can be physically depleting. Travel there is very rigorous due to the fact that the FR i t country Is very long and narrow and there are great distances between concerts.
