"To celebrate the arrival on campus of Jackson Pollock’s Lucifer—one of the most important works in the new Anderson Collection at Stanford University—the Cantor Arts Center presents an exhibition that explores the fascinating evolution of artists’ depictions of the devil and his realm through the past 500 years. Prints, drawings paintings, and sculptures from the 16th through 21st centuries reveal the archfiend’s transformation from a horned and cloven-footed fallen angel to the debonair Mephistopheles to the evil hidden within those responsible for the horrors of modern society."
