Like Us: Primate Portraits by Robin Schwartz

Description

Sometimes comical but always fascinating, the portraits featured in this exhibition show how closely related we are to primates. Schwartz has captured images of monkeys, gorillas and other primates behaving in human ways—putting on clothes, bathing themselves, playing together, drinking from a can of soda, even seeming to convey emotion through facial expressions.
