Hugo Crosthwaite's stop-motion animation portrait of Dr. Anthony Fauci will be installed in the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery opens the 'Portrait of a Nation' exhibition. The video depicts Fauci's long career — and the backdrop of the pandemic.
Crosthwaite is known for recent stop-motion animation works and large scale public murals. He won the San Diego Art Prize in 2021. In 2019 he won first prize in the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery's Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition. Part of his prize was this commissioned portrait of Fauci.The animation is an extraordinary look at someone who has been the face of science in America during the pandemic. It's intricately, stunningly rendered and powerful to watch.
The film is set to music from composer Marilu Salinas, plus Ramón Amezcua, who created the Tijuana electronic ensemble NORTEC. It opens with gloomy, suspenseful music and a drawing of Fauci, pensive, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.An undated still from crossborder artist Hugo Crosthwaite's stop-motion animation portrait of Dr. Anthony Fauci, which will be on view through October 2023 at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.
An undated still from Hugo Crosthwaite's stop-motion animation portrait of Dr. Anthony Fauci, part of the Smithsonian's 2022"Portrait of a Nation" exhibition. The effect is full of movement. As figures emerge and wobble with tiny shifts of the camera angle, the animations buzz with life. The animation ends with a recent likeness of Fauci. But along the way there are health care workers, protestors, sick people connected to ventilators and someone receiving a vaccine — all elements of Fauci's legacy.
