The exhibition will give an insight into the genre and its development, as well as compositional provisions and stylistic variations. The exhibition will portray iconography characteristic of the 20th century, which, compared to the genesis of historical portraits, is closer to our time.

The exhibition will feature outstanding pieces from the Latvian National Art Museum's collection, as well as from private collections - paintings, graphics, sculptures and photographs, as well as audiovisual art as the exhibition's design and scenography elements.
