The exhibition resembles a visual family reunion: self-portraits by artists are juxtaposed with depictions of mothers, uncles and cousins. How do artists portray themselves – and how do they portray those close to them? We encounter brothers who paint, farming families and works spanning four generations. Yet kinship is found not only within families, but also between works of art. They may share formal, thematic or technical similarities, transcending eras and genres. The exhibition reveals both tense and harmonious constellations – just as in many families.
