Dark Visions
Published on August 14, 2024
In the 1700 and 1800's, artists explored the idea of the Sublime, the flip side of the Age of Enlightenment, in which Romantics opened themselves to the sensation of forces beyond human comprehension and control. They gave their audiences terrifying images, sometimes for fun, sometimes for soulful contemplation. In this exhibition, artists such as Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Francisco Goya, and William Blake stir the cauldron with images so peculiar that it was, and still is, hard to know what to make of them.
The exhibition runs from June 15 – December 8, 2024 at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, 2400 3rd Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55404.
