The representation of human emotion through facial expression has interested western artists since antiquity. Drawn from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collections of drawings, prints, and photographs, the diverse works in this installation, ranging from portraits and caricatures to representations of theater and war, reveal how expression underpinned narrative and provided a window onto the character and motivations of the subjects, the artists, and even their audience.
