Artist Brings “Truthful” Portraits to SPS
For the second time since 2011, artist Robert Shetterly has brought a series of 36″ x 30″ acrylic portraits to SPS. The paintings – collectively called “Americans Who Tell the Truth” – are inspired by Shetterly’s view of his role as an artist, which changed after the events of September 11, 2001. He realized at that time the need to “engage the moment much more directly, be much more of a citizen – the world demanded of all of us that we be better citizens.”
