"Bodies of Knowledge"

Filed under: Art


The British Library is hosting an online gallery in a collection devoted to the different ways that the human body has been portrayed through drawing. From medieval suppositions about the body to Indian yogic images, and Fritz Kahn's imagination, the collection gives a general overview of how we've been seeing ourselves throughout the centuries.
