"The Pencil Is a Key: Drawings By Incarcerated Artists," @drawingcenter, features historical and contemporary drawings by incarcerated people from all over the globe. Works by artists who were or currently are prisoners are juxtaposed with drawings by prisoners who became artists while incarcerated. Examples include drawings by political prisoners like Gustave Courbet, who was imprisoned because of his role in the Paris Commune uprising of 1871; artists incarcerated during World War II as noncombatants like Hans Bellmer, and Ruth Asawa, who was interned by the US government because she was a Japanese American. The exhibit also includes artists in Soviet Gulags, Apartheid-era South Africa, in Central and South American countries under military dictatorships. The exhibition is on view through January 5th 2020.

"Unto This Last: Two Hundred Years of John Ruskin," @yalebritishart, celebrates the bicentenary of the birth of the great nineteenth-century artist and critic John Ruskin. Drawing on the Center’s rich collection of Ruskin’s drawings and publications, and significant loans from other prominent institutions, the show highlights Ruskin’s impact in his own time and his lasting impact today. He is positioned as a pioneering ecological thinker, social reformer, educator and preservationist. The exhibit is on view through December 9th.
