Eyes, Everywhere, at the Birmingham Museum of Art

Rarely has an exhibition’s title been more eerily appropriate than the new one at the Birmingham Museum of Art. The Look of Love deals, fittingly, with eyes, specifically “lover’s eyes”, a form of affectionate portraiture that depicts only the eye of one’s beloved, usually set in a fairly ornate jeweled mount. This was mostly a pastime of the aristocracy, naturally. The exhibition runs at BMA through June 10. (FULL ARTICLE: Michael Huebner, The Birmingham News)
