Friends, Acquaintances, and Idols presents Kenneth Kendall’s exuberant enamel miniatures of Hollywood figures, friends, and personal heroes. Working on porcelain with meticulous multiple firings, Kendall combined technical mastery with camp and queer-coded expression, navigating fame, desire, and counterculture. His portraits reveal both his artistry and interior life, asserting identity and playful rebellion in mid-20th-century Los Angeles.
