Now that you’ve found sources for your research, how do you decide which ones are the best? Join us, and we will help you evaluate your sources and summarize them for easy reference. Presented by Perry Library and Academic Enhancement

Room 1306, Perry Library Learning Commons

Come see the new exhibit at the Hofheimer Art Library: Charmingly Grotesque.

When considering the word “grotesque”, it is easy to get caught up in only the negative connotation it infers. The images created by the artists in this exhibit, however, manage to visually illustrate the wide expanse of the word’s definitions. By using a mixture of fantastical creatures, distorted humans, and dreamlike surroundings, the artists manage to create whimsical narratives that skirt on the edge of macabre while remaining delightfully pleasant to view. As a result, the works act as an interesting commentary on human nature’s tendency towards the dark and unknown.

In honor of Halloween, take a moment to enjoy the images featured in this display and discover what the word “grotesque” means to you. Happy Halloween!
