“Yoga: The Art of Transformation” at Cleveland Museum of Art
OHIO---Yoga’s widening influence on art and culture, starting in ancient India, is on fulsome, sensuous display at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Wandering from room to room in the Kelvin and Eleanor Smith Foundation Exhibition Hall engenders a feeling of peace – if, perhaps, not quite the enlightenment the yogis and yoginis were said to attain. A blend of all kinds of art, from ancient sculptures to golden-hued paintings to garish, mystical woodcarvings, along with vintage photography and magazines, “Yoga: The Art of Transformation” delights the eye and stimulates less visible neural pathways. Organized by the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., and curated by Debra Diamond, associate curator of South and Southeast Asian Art there, it debuted at the Sackler last October. Cleveland is its final stop. [link]
