What is prosperity? For some, it is simply security, but it can also be pleasure, power, peace, or play. One’s individual definition of prosperity is impacted by society’s interpretation of success. This interpretation can restrict, alter, or support one’s path to prosperity. As printmaking was a main format of societal narrative production, this exhibition will look at sixteenth through nineteenth-century European prints from The Hyde’s permanent collection. Works by the artists Rembrandt, Hogarth, Dürer, Goya, and more portray prosperity and exclusion through satire, romance, revolution, and inquisition.
The exhibition is curated by Jessica Packard, intern in the curatorial and collections department.
