Making Faces: Portraits by John Kascht

Making Faces is a retrospective of drawings and paintings by caricature artist John Kascht, whose irreverent work turns the leisurely pastime of people-watching into an Xtreme sport. Over a 30 year career as an illustrator Kascht has created work for album covers, theater posters, gallery collections, and most major publications. Making Faces features portraits of historical and contemporary notables, and includes subjects of interest to political junkies, moviegoers, music lovers, history buffs, artists and even people who hate art shows. In addition to entertainment, the show delivers thought-provoking glimpses into the serious intent behind the funny pictures. Visitors to the show are sure to leave smiling and it’s likely they won’t look at faces – or the mirror – the same way again.
