Ellen Emmet Rand (also Ellen (Bay) Gertrude Emmet (Rand); March 4, 1875 – December 18, 1941) was a painter and illustrator.  She specialized in portraits, painting over 500 works during her career including portraits of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, artist Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and her cousins Henry James and William James.  Rand studied at the Cowles Art School in Boston and the Art Students League in New York City and produced illustrations for Vogue Magazine and Harper's Weekly before traveling to England and then France to study with sculptor Frederick William MacMonnies.  The William Benton Museum of Art at the University of Connecticut owns the largest collection of her painted works and the Archives & Special Collections at the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center at the University of Connecticut and the Archives of American Art within the Smithsonian Institution both have collections of her papers, photographs, and drawings. Promptuarii Iconum Insigniorum (full title: Promptuarii iconum insigniorum à seculo hominum, subiectis eorum vitis, per compendium ex probatissimis autoribus desumptis) is an iconography book by Guillaume Rouillé.  It was published in Lyon, France, in 1553.  The work includes portraits designed as medals, and brief biographies of many notable figures.  Although Julian Sharman, author of "The library of Mary Queen of Scots", judges the work to be "not one of much numismatic interest", he notes that, "This work has been pronounced to be one of the marvels of early wood-engraving."  The book includes a total of 950 woodcut portraits.  Many of the figures portrayed are of English origin.  The images begin with Adam and Eve.  In the preface, the publisher praises the work. Robert Vargas is a contemporary artist known for his mixed-media portraits, murals and live events.  He was born and raised in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Boyle Heights.  Vargas is a leading creative force in the revitalization of Downtown LA’s art scene.  His paintings and drawings infuse classic genres of portraiture and nudes with an avant-garde explosivity that not only captures the visage and likeness of his subjects, but seems to excavate the intimate aspects of their character.  Vargas selects his subjects intuitively at his highly attended live-painting sessions, creating powerful and sublime representations of the human connection through his portraiture.  His visual vocabulary pulls from life experience, a viscerally sensual approach to line and texture, and an almost mannerist choreography of abstraction and representation that combine to unforgettable effect in his portraits.  His best-known works include a City of L.A. commissioned mural "Cant Stop" of legendary Suicidal Tendencies frontman, "Mike Muir, and his "Warrior Odyssey" mural of skateboard Icon and Z-boy legend, Tony Alva for the Kinney Hotel in Venice.  In 2013, Vargas was a key figure in helping Los Angeles lift its street art ban while creating his masterpiece, "Our Lady Of DTLA" a four story mural on Spring street in the heart of downtown L.A.  In May 2011, Vargas was named one of LA Weekly's People of the Year and was featured on a limited-edition cover of the issue.  His public mural work both in Los Angeles and throughout the world he sees as a means to reach a wider audience and promote accessible art and community through the creative process.  Continuing to shape the way the city’s history is written, in the Summer of 2017 he will begin work on his biggest project yet: a fourteen-story mural in L.A. that will rank as the largest mural in the world by a single artist.

Born of mixed blood in New Mexico's Laguna Pueblo, he has become globally recognized for his prolific and distinguished black-and-white portraits of his tribal elders, who collectively comprised the tribe's last generation to live by their traditional ways and values.  The passing of time has turned his collection of tens-of-thousands of photographic images — both portraits and landscapes — into a historical showcase of enduring value and significance. Gertrude Stein wrote "If I Told Him : A Completed Portrait of Picasso” in 1923.  It was first published in "Vanity Fair" in 1924 and she subsequently published it in her collection "Portraits and Prayers".  This poem was part of a multi-decade intertextual dialogue between Stein and Pablo Picasso.  Stein was one of the first to exhibit Picasso’s paintings at her weekly salons at 27 rue de Fleurus.  In 1906, Picasso completed a portrait of Stein, and the following year, she wrote her first literary portrait of Picasso, titled “Picasso.”  Over a decade later, when the two were no longer working as closely together, she wrote this second portrait, notable for its non-representational style.
