Appleton Museum of Art, College of Central Florida, presents “Striking Poses: Portrait Photography from the Permanent Collection.”

On view through Jan. 26, 2025, in the second-floor Preview Gallery, the exhibition is drawn from the Appleton’s extensive photography collection. Seventeen gelatin silver prints and one color photograph highlight the individuality of the subjects – including rare and intimate portraits of Marlon Brando, Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin – as well as the distinctive artistic perspectives of the photographers. Artists on exhibit in “Striking Poses” include Mary Ellen Mark, Anne Noggle, Abigail Perlmutter, Berni Schoenfield, Bert Stern, Brett Weston and Edward Weston.

“With photographers who are just as fascinating as their subjects, we are pleased to present these compelling works, along with some interesting backstories uncovered during the process of organizing the show,” said Victoria Billig, Appleton assistant director.

Regular admission fees apply to visit. Admission is free on the first Saturday of each month as part of the Free First Saturday program. Free First Saturdays are sponsored in part by CAMPUS USA Credit Union and Marion Cultural Alliance.
