The Altruist


Artist Laurie Munn found a 1965 yearbook from Emerson High in Union City, New Jersey in the trash. She kept it and after a number of years it inspired her to embark on a project. She decided to paint the portraits of each of the 220 members of the graduating class featured in the yearbook.
She made a video of the project. I was fascinated.
