SBMA exhibition Portrayal/Betrayal, on view from June 2 – September 16, 2012, will explore the endlessly interesting terrain of the portrait. The exhibition will include over 100 photographs from the museum’s permanent collection “that reveal an infinite range of human complexities and contradictory states of heart and mind.” Organized into nine distinct groups, each section will reflect a different conceptual approach and explore the complex relationships that exist between the photographer and the sitter.

Santa Barbara Museum of Art is located at 1130 State Street, Santa Barbara. Open Tuesday – Sunday, 11 am to 5 pm. 805.963.4364
