Author Portraits

Swedish artist Carl Kohler's wonderful literature inspired "author portraits" are currently on tour across North America. His son, Henry Kohler, sent me some images from the Beyond The Words exhibition.
Below are portraits of Anna Akhmatova and Apollinaire and one of the artist (circa 1946) which is not included in the exhibition.




Read here and here to learn more.

You can see the portraits at the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver from April 1 - May 28.
