Before You Now focuses on the enduring themes of the artist’s self-portrait, as seen in a selection of works from LACMA’s collections of photographs, prints, drawings, videos, and installation art. The exhibition is an introduction to seeing American artists as they see themselves—or as they want to be seen by their public.
