Lancaster, CA. January 13, 2025 – The Lancaster Museum of Art and History (MOAH) is pleased to announce its latest exhibition Before You Now: Capturing the Self in Portraiture. The exhibition will be on view at MOAH from Saturday, January 25, to Sunday, April 13, 2025. The opening reception will be held on Saturday, January 25, from 2 to 4 p.m.
Before You Now: Capturing the Self in Portraiture focuses on the enduring theme of the artist’s self-portrait, as seen in a selection of photographs, prints, drawings, and video art from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The exhibition is an introduction to seeing artists as they see themselves or want to be seen by their public. Organized into seven categorical themes – Claiming, Crafting, Clowning, Convening, Conceptualizing, Camouflaging, and Concluding–the images in the exhibition showcase these artists’ fascination with self-portraiture and its ability to communicate an autobiographical narrative.
This exhibition was organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in collaboration with the Lancaster Museum of Art and History; Riverside Art Museum; Vincent Price Art Museum at East Los Angeles College; and California State University, Northridge, Art Galleries. Local Access is a series of American art exhibitions created through a multi-year, multi-institutional partnership formed by LACMA as part of the Art Bridges Cohort Program.
