Throughout the history of drawing and print making artists have frequently produced weird images, a few of them funny, many disturbing, some mysterious, some clearly brutal.  Both the contexts and the sources are varied.  Some were done as political or social satire, some derive from literature or biblical sources, some are dreamlike, some blatantly sexual, some are slashing indictments of human affairs, many are concerned with death and disillusionment, some simply are. But these images are more than mere curiosities.  They reflect some of the darker and more mysterious aspects of the human soul and, in so doing, add to our knowledge of ourselves.  Art, and particularly print making, has always had as one of its primary functions the dissemination of knowledge and information.  A little tour through some of these darker areas may be disturbing, even offensive in places, but also, in its strange and contradictory way, enlightening.
