Meet the Mahavidyas, the ten Great Wisdom Goddesses revered in Bengal as manifestations of Devi, the supreme goddess, the personifications of Shakti, the divine feminine energy.
This print depicts two of the goddesses: Bhuvaneshvari, on the left, embodies the primordial creative forces of the physical world, while Bagala, on the right, possesses the power to silence speech and quiet the mind by dispelling delusions and misconceptions. Both goddesses are depicted as youthful and beautiful, in keeping with devotional traditions.
📣 See "Household Gods: Hindu Devotional Prints, 1860–1930" on view at The Met.

Run, New Yorkers, run! 🗽
In 1926, artist El Lissitzky reimagined the urban athlete in a dynamic composition that brought together the runner, a track and hurdle, and a double exposure of Times Square. By slicing the combined print into strips, he created a fragmented image that captures the energy of movement and the optimism of industrial progress.
Set against the backdrop of New York City, the runner becomes a symbol of human achievement and the possibilities of a rapidly changing world.

Happy #NationalCatDay! 🐈⬛
Over the centuries, pictures of religious scenes, representations of daily life, and family portraits have included cats as minor details. Yet rarely, until the nineteenth century, were cats a featured subject without humans.
Nathaniel Currier, who launched his successful New York-based lithography firm in 1835, went on to produce thousands of prints in various sizes that together create a vivid panorama of mid-to-late nineteenth century American life and its history.
Currier, and later Currier & Ives, created more than forty prints featuring cats and kittens, most being humorous or sentimental representations done in the 1870s. People acquired and framed these cheery prints to hang in their parlors, or more often, in children's bedrooms and nurseries.

Three of Jackson Pollock’s early sketchbooks can now be found at The Met!
The sketches were influenced by Pollock’s time studying with American painter Thomas Hart Benton at the Art Students League in New York and works by El Greco, Michelangelo, Peter Paul Rubens, and Tintoretto, along with the muralism of José Clemente Orozco.
Later drawings reveal an artist exploring process and psychology, ideas that would also shape his radical approach to painting, and ultimately lead him to develop the drip technique, transforming Benton’s emphasis on gesture, movement, and dynamism into a style entirely his own.
📣 See select sketches in "Krasner and Pollock: Past Continuous" on view at The Met.
