If I Live To Be 100 • American Farmer
International Arts and Artists, in association with photographer Paul Mobley, has announced a second traveling exhibition and national museum tour inspired by his acclaimed portrait work. If I Live to Be 100: Centenarian Portraits features full-scale portraits of remarkable Americans who have celebrated their 100th birthdays, offering a powerful celebration of longevity, resilience, and the extraordinary lives of everyday individuals who have witnessed a full century of change. More details can be found at ifilivetobe100.com.
This upcoming exhibition builds on the success of Mobley’s first exhibition, American Farmer, which toured nationally for seven years and was viewed by more than half a million people. In that series, Mobley crisscrossed the country from Alaska to Florida, capturing the spirit of America’s farm communities through portraits that reflect tradition, family, integrity, and hard work. Featuring forty-five iconic portraits distilled from more than 300 photographs, American Farmer reveals the geographic and cultural diversity of agricultural life and shares the voices and stories of farmers who embody the strength and dignity of a way of life that has long shaped our national identity.
