"The representation of animals has a long and rich past  in the history of art. It extends as far back as the  prehistoric caves at Lascaux and continues today.  Animals have been adopted as symbols, totems, emblems,  and as means to impart stories, lessons, and moral values.  In addition, they have been anthropomorphized-- imbued with human characteristics. This exhibition will  explore the role of animals in art, investigating such  issues as domesticity and wildness, direct observation  and invention, and realism and abstraction. Always, depictions  of animals are symbolic vessels of human states of mind."
