- Description of Pictures: On Nov. 17, the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery will host its third biennial American Portrait Gala. The black-tie, red carpet affair will bestow the Portrait Gallery’s coveted “Portrait of a Nation Prize” to six notable honorees whose accomplishments have made an impact on the nation’s shared history, development and culture, and whose portraits have been recently installed in the museum’s collection. Proceeds from the American Portrait Gala benefit the museum’s endowment for exhibitions.
This year’s recipients of the “Portrait of a Nation Prize” are Frances Arnold, Jeffrey P. Bezos, Earth, Wind & Fire (Maurice White [posthumously], Philip Bailey, Verdine White, Ralph Johnson), Lin-Manuel Miranda, Indra Nooyi, and Anna Wintour. Presenting their prizes to them on stage are France Córdova, Preston Bezos, Clive Davis, Michelle Obama, Alberto Ibargüen and James Corden, respectively. The evening will culminate with a live musical performance by award-winning band Earth, Wind & Fire. Acclaimed journalist Gayle King will serve as the gala’s Master of Ceremonies and Prabal Gurung is the evening’s Honorary Fashion Designer.
Original portraits of each of the evening’s honorees will be on view to the public as part of the National Portrait Gallery’s “Recent Acquisitions” exhibition, which opens Nov. 15 and continues through Aug. 30, 2020. Artists depicting this year’s honorees include Jon R. Friedman (Nooyi), Katy Grannan (Arnold), Robert McCurdy (Bezos), Annie Leibovitz (Wintour), Mark Seliger (Miranda) and Bruce W. Talamon (Earth, Wind & Fire).

Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
