If you were turned off by Adele's photoshopping incident, then we think this one's for you. Specifically, "Close Up," an exhibit of iconic German photographer Martin Schoeller's portraits (a disciple of Annie Leibovitz, naturally) at the Boca Raton Museum of Art. The show gets, well, very close-up with famous mugs like Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, George Clooney, Barack Obama, and even Paris Hilton through the unhindered and larger than life (61' x 49'!) snaps that don't leave anything to the imagination.
For the more independent viewer, The New Times reports that photos of unknown but strikingly intriguing faces are on display as well, including those of indigenous tribesman and women from Tanzania and Brazil. Oversized pores, blemishes, wrinkles, and other imperfections are intimately up for display, so for once we can thank these celebs (and non-celebs) for making us feel a bit more comfortable in our own skin. Vogue retouchers will want to stay far, far away.
When: Through March 18.
Where: Boca Raton Museum of Art, 501 Plaza Real, 561-392-2500; Boca Raton.
