The Canvas Cut-outs of Titus Kaphar...

Artist Titus Kaphar creates oil-on-canvas prints of

European and American portraits from the 18th and 19th

centuries and reworks them in narrative ways to encourage

a completely new dialogue. "His work is at once beautiful

and halting as he dances between fictional narrative and

history,” notes the Seattle Art Museum. Here, the canvas

has been shredded to create Martyr (oil on linen, 2008).
