ATLANTA, GA.- The High Museum of Art will premiere an exhibition of new work by California based photographer Robert Weingarten in January 2010. Weingarten’s project consists of twenty large-scale digitally-created portraits of American icons, and represents a bold departure from traditional camera portraiture. For “The Portrait Unbound,” Weingarten created sophisticated digital compositions of imagery alluding to specific achievements or moments within the subject’s life. The result is a unique and compelling collage of images that describes the subject through biographical rather than physical information.
