<\/a>Witches and Wicked Bodies at the Scottish Gallery of Modern Art<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThere have been some exhibitions looking at witchcraft in Italy and France in the past, but there has been nothing which has specifically looked at how women have been portrayed, like this exhibition does, and certainly nothing like this at all in Britain… In a way, it is really an exhibition on the suppressed history of how women have been represented by artists throughout European history… There have been a huge number of historians looking at witchcraft over the years, but not that many people have looked at how it has been represented by artists. I think it\u2019s an incredibly relevant exhibition, with men\u2019s representation of women.\u201d

The exhibition contains works by:
\nJohn Bellany<\/a>, William Blake<\/a>, Bruegel<\/a>, Edward Burra<\/a>, Lucas Cranach<\/a>, Alan Davie<\/a>, Paul Delvaux<\/a>, Albrecht D\u00fcrer<\/a>, John Faed<\/a>, Frans Francken II<\/a>, Henry Fuseli<\/a>, Jacob de Gheyn<\/a>, Hans Baldung Grien<\/a>, Francisco de Goya<\/a>, Mark\u00e9ta Luskacov\u00e1<\/a>, John Martin<\/a>, John Hamilton Mortimer<\/a>,Paula Rego<\/a>, Salvator Rosa<\/a>, Alexander Runciman<\/a>, John Runciman<\/a>, Paul Sandby<\/a>, Cindy Sherman<\/a>, John Raphael Smith<\/a>, Kiki Smith<\/a> and John William Waterhouse<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cFrom the late 15th century onwards, artists focused on the most sensational aspects of witches\u2019 activities, such as their supposed attendance at sabbaths and their engagement in \u2018diabolical pacts\u2019, both of which were thought to have involved lascivious sexual practices.\u201d Patricia Allerston, deputy director of the Scottish National Gallery.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
