Modern American Poets at the National Portrait Gallery

Frank O’Hara 1926–1966
Don Bachardy (born 1934)
Graphite and ink wash on paper, 1965
Adrienne Rich 1929–2012
Joan E. Biren (born 1944)
Digital inkjet print, 1981
Sylvia Plath 1932–1963
Rollie McKenna (1918–2003)
Gelatin silver print, 1959 (printed later)

My favorite part of the National Portrait Gallery was the Poetic Likeness: Modern American Poets exhibition (duh). I love the illustration of Frank O'Hara. There was also a great painting of him, but I only got one picture before I got yelled at (one of the many times I got yelled at).
