Envisioning Evil: “The Nazi Drawings” by Mauricio Lasansky
Envisioning Evil: “The Nazi Drawings” by Mauricio Lasansky
Exhibition at the Minneapolis Institute Of Art
Exhibit putting Lasansky print legacy on display
Mauricio Lasansky had a gift for etching intricate and beautiful designs, and supporters of the artist's work hope an exhibit opening this week will leave impressions on the minds a new generation.
The horror, the horror
The small bronze plaque outside the UI Museum of Art's latest exhibition reads: "Parents may wish to preview the exhibition before viewing it with their children."
Probably a good idea.
Just the title, The Nazi Drawings, will give a thoughtful viewer pause. And a casual glance inside the gallery will leave even the most ambivalent of minds singed with artist Mauricio Lasansky's message: Nazism is evil, and Lasansky was (and still is) p-i-s-s-e-d.

The horrors depicted in Mauricio Lasansky's The Nazi Drawings are specific, but the message they convey is both universal and topical.
Lasansky, a retired University of Iowa printmaker, is best known for the prints, a collection of 30 individual pieces and one triptych that depict the atrocities carried out in Nazi Germany.
