Portrait of the Artist:  Twentieth-Century Authors and Playwrights

James Joyce, Eugene O'Neill, Tennessee Williams, William Faulkner, and Sinclair Lewis, writers who experimented with new techniques and styles-modernism, expressionism, naturalism, romantic realism, and satirical realism are featured in this display of photographs in the Eisenhower Library Special Collections department.  American photographers Carl Van Vechten and Berenice Abbott provide a glimpse of their perspectives on these creative minds.

The photographs are from the Richard Frary Collection, donated to the Sheridan Libraries in 2004 by Johns Hopkins alumnus Richard Frary (A&S '69).  The display will run through March 31, 2006 and may be viewed Monday-Friday in the Special Collections department on A-Level.  Hours are from 9 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday, with extended evening hours until 8 pm on Thursdays.
