Faces and Stories

Faces & Stories: A Portrait of Southern Writers is a photography exhibit featuring portraits by internationally acclaimed photographer Curt Richter, who was initially commissioned by Louis D. Rubin, Jr. to photograph the founding members of the Fellowship of Southern Writers. The first author to sit for the series was Eudora Welty and the last was Alice Walker. The project grew and, over a seven year period, he photographed over two hundred writers associated with the South. Sixty of these portraits are presented in this traveling exhibit.
