...sketch of the room, and finally his redone portraits. When seen this way, Kellner’s re-configured pictures really do give new life to the classically beautiful rooms of the Athenaeum. While visually appealing on their own, the works of “All Shook Up?? would have been more successful if the exhibition presented Kellner’s pieces along with original pictures and sketches.

In fact, there’s a whole...
