Laurent Clerc Virtual Art Gallery

Laurent Clerc lived a life primary before the invention of the camera. While there are a few photos of Laurent which give us a glimpse of him, frozen in portraits that were common at the time.

 

Even more intriguing are the works of art that represent how artist of his time perceived him.

Painted portraits, also common throughout his life, show us various stages of his life cycle.

 

But even more compelling are the works of art from artists around the world that never met Laurent during his lifetime. Works of art that they feel connect with and memorialize his contributions to the Deaf Community and to the development of American Sign Language.
