SHAKESPEARE BUG A hand-drawn vector graphic styled in the 1500s England. A beetle wearing pantaloons with stripes, like a Shakespeare character, integrated with an Art Nouveau vine in the shape of a window. The bug symbolizes nature and culture, while the window symbolizes the connection between the inner and outer worlds. Insects have been used as metaphors and sym- bols in literature and art for centuries. In Shakespeare’s plays, insects often appear as agents of mis- chief, corruption, or transformation. In King Lear, Lear curs- es his daughters with “The fangs of adders, spiders, toads.” In Othello, Lago plants the seed of jealousy in Othello’s mind by saying “O beware, my lord, of jealousy! / It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock / The meat it feeds on”.
ART IS CHANGING AGAIN. HERE. NOW. OPPORTUNITIES TO WITNESS THIS ARE RARE, SO ATTEND AND OBSERVE. -JERRY SALTZ, ART CRITIC
