Into the Woods: French Drawings and Photographs from the Karen B.Bridget Riley Drawings: From the Artist’s Studio.Whether employed in ornamental, entertaining, or contemplative settings, these fantastic beings were meant to inspire a sense of marvel and awe in their viewers. The final section, "Wonders", considers a group of strange beauties and frightful anomalies that populated the medieval world. A second section on "Aliens" demonstrates how marginalized groups in European societies-such as Jews, Muslims, women, the poor, and the disabled-were further alienated by being figured as monstrous. "Terrors" explores how monsters enhanced the aura of those in power, be they rulers, knights, or saints. Medieval Monsters will lead visitors through three sections based on the ways monsters functioned in medieval societies. Drawing on the Morgan's superb collection of illuminated manuscripts, this major exhibition, the first of its kind in North America, will explore the complex social role of monsters in the Middle Ages. Monsters captivated the imagination of medieval men and women, just as they continue to fascinate us today.
