MoMA Opens “The Modern Myth: Drawing Mythologies in Modern Times”

NEW
YORK, NY.- Throughout history, humankind has sought to make sense of
their world through myths. These stories, often taking visual forms,
have been both preserved and transformed over the years as they have been
repictured and retold. Artists have long considered mythology part of their
aesthetic language, a tradition continued by modern and contemporary artists who
address and reinterpret mythologies in their works. “The Modern Myth”
features works on paper from the collection of The Museum of Modern Art that
engage elements of ancient mythological narratives, incorporating them into new
visual repertoires.
