By Night
About
Artists have turned to the nighttime for inspiration for centuries. By Night presents nocturnal scenes from the museum’s collection and explores how artists have responded to the challenge of depicting darkness in the medium of printmaking. Together, the prints show night as a time of duality—for work and leisure, for refuge and adventure, for solitude and gathering.
