The Artist and the Underworld: A Philosophical Look at Demons in Art History

The Artist and the Underworld: A Philosophical Look at Demons in Art History

Presented by Sturgis Library at Sturgis Library

Demons have long been used to symbolize the dark counterpart of light. An image of sin, artists have personified the unwanted traits within ourselves, and given them faces, along with horns and tails. We’ll explore the use of demons and devils within art as a way to examine our own human nature. Facing your demons may just be more enlightening than you thought! Among the artists to be discussed are Albrecht Durer, Gustave Dore, and William Blake.
