Curator's Pick: Tablets of the Mind with Dr. Michael Chagnon

As humans, we look to art to help unravel — or at least get perspective on — the many mysteries of life, from love, to existence, to the astonishing beauty of the natural world. But what happens when the artist turns their gaze to the act of art-making itself? What insights do we glean then?

Curator Dr. Michael Chagnon looks for answers in Museum masterpieces, including a finely detailed creation from the 17th century of a seated artist with his drawing board.
