		<description><![CDATA[February 8&#8212;October 26, 2008 at National Portrait Gallery: Since its inception in the 1970s, hip hop has been arguably the most influential and popular musical form in America. Starting February 8, the National Portrait Gallery is featuring the work of artists who have explored this phenomenon. David Scheinbaum has been photographing hip hop artists since 2000, both in concert and offstage, including such celebrated groups as Public Enemy, Blackalicious, Phar Cyde, De La Soul and Jurassic-5. Kehinde Wiley, best known for his large, colorful paintings of anonymous young black men, has created portraits of hip hop artists such as LL Cool J and Ice T, each based on a famous European or American painting from the 17th through 19th centuries. Nikki Giovanni has written a poem that will be transcribed onto walls in the exhibition and also interpreted artistically by artist Shinique Smith. Tim Conlon and Dave Hupp, two Washington, D.C–based graffiti artists, created four portrait murals to be installed in a hallway that connects the galleries. Jefferson Pinder created three video self-portraits that will be included in the installation.

		<description><![CDATA[April 11&#8212;September 1, 2008 at National Portrait Gallery: Photographer Zaida Ben-Yusuf (18691933) was an important figure in the pictorialist photography movement in late 19th- and early 20th-century New York. The first woman to embark on building a gallery of illustrious Americans, Ben-Yusuf attracted to her Fifth Avenue studio many of the most prominent artistic, literary, theatrical and political figures of her day. Hoping to break with the conventions of the past, she was thoroughly modern, both as a photographer and a woman. Zaida Ben-Yusuf: New York Portrait Photographer is the first exhibition to ever tell the story of her extraordinary life and bring together her portraits. In these images, Ben-Yusuf sought not only to portray the key figures in new New York, but also to revitalize an artistic genre that had grown stale by the end of the nineteenth century.

Pershing, Buffalo Bill Cody, Joe Louis, Judy Garland, aviator Jimmy Doolittle and labor leader Lane Kirkland. Dramatic, colorful and often enormous, these likenesses hardly seem subtle. But what a poster communicates about an individual is usually secondary to its principal messageselling war bonds, announcing the arrival of the circus, advertising a product or publicizing a concert or film. Posters invariably project the public image, enhancing, promoting, exploiting or upgrading the information we subconsciously absorb about celebrities.
