DESCRIPTION:Join Sara Lent Frier\, Burton and Deedee McMurtry Assistant Cur
 ator\, Prints\, Drawings\, and Academic Engagement\, on this special highl
 ights tour of Cunning Folk: Witchcraft\, Magic\, and Occult Knowledge.\n\n
 Cunning Folk considers magical practice\, practitioners\, and their persec
 ution in early modern European artwork and material culture (c.1500–1750
 ). The term “cunning folk” typically describes wise people who knew tr
 aditional spells and remedies believed to cure and protect. The works on p
 aper\, painting\, and personal items on view in this intimate\, single gal
 lery exhibition more broadly explore the historical concept of “cunning
 ” in connection to many forms of secret magical rites and knowledge\, fr
 om folk charms to occult natural philosophy to diabolic witchcraft. Early 
 modern artists also helped construct the idea of magical figures as a thre
 at to the prevailing social order–particularly through the rise of print
  culture–and here\, a selection of American contemporary artworks reconj
 ure these histories. RSVP here.\n\nAll public programs at the Cantor Arts 
 Center are always free! Space for this program is limited\; advance regist
 ration is recommended. \n\nImage: Dominique Viviant Denon (French\, 1747
