In its lived-in quality and gathering churn, “Good One” is a dream of an indie, from the craft in every frame to the humor, epiphanies and mysteries that gird its portraiture.

Collage and related forms of assemblage dominate a survey that spotlights Harris’s newer work, though a collage sensibility was at least as evident as studio-based portraiture even early on.

In portraiture, like Sargent’s Dr. Pozzi at Home or Raphael’s Portrait of a Cardinal, red can communicate faith, sensuality or power.
