Art History Illustrated: Getting to Know Gargoyles and Grotesques

« All Events Art History Illustrated: Getting to Know Gargoyles and Grotesques April 16 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm From Gothic cathedrals in Europe, to the Chrysler Building in New York and beyond, spend an evening learning about the history and symbolism of these fantastic sculpted creatures with art historian Brenda Edgar. True gargoyles were created to spit out rainwater through their mouths; along with their purely decorative relatives, grotesques, they were designed to terrify the very forces of Evil. This program is intended for adults. Join us for our “Art History Illustrated” talk series, held the third Thursday of every month at 5:30 p.m. This monthly illustrated talk series is presented by art historian Brenda Edgar, in collaboration with The Floyd County Carnegie Library Cultural Arts Center.
