The pieces in this show all refer to various manifestations of magic: spiritualism, stage magic, seances, witchcraft. The history of magic has been made by people who deeply desired to believe in magic and people who were pleased to take advantage of that belief. In art and fiction everything is possible. These drawings honor the beauty, ingenuity, and charlatanism that constitute the history of magic.
