Kiowa Drawings. Fabulous. The Smithsonian's collections of Kiowa drawings include works of art on buffalo hide and more recent examples on paper, a medium that Kiowa artists adopted after it became widely available in the late nineteenth century.

Gravely Gorgeous. Gargoyles, Grotesques & the 19th-Century Imagination. What excuse can there be for these ridiculous monstrosities in the cloister where the monks do their reading, extraordinary things at once beautiful and ugly? . . . a beast with a serpent for its tail, a fish with an animal's head, and a creature that is horse in front and goat behind, and a second beast with horns and the rear of a horse. . . . 2:07:43 PM     |

Getting the Picture. The art of the illustrated letter. Yet another nice exhibition. 9:51:58 AM     |
