Backstage Access The Celebrity Portraits of Larry Crawford

Larry Crawford spent over 40 years documenting and painting America's pop culture icons. This collection displays some of his best work and, through his conversations with Mary Day Long, the stories behind the portraits.

Crawford has had work displayed in venues from the St. Louis' Fox Theatre to the New York Museum of Modern Art to the White House. Here are examples of his ongoing quest to record the personalities of the movers and shakers of entertainment, politics, and performing artists who make our existence a bit more interesting.
