The early 1900s caption reads: " Siguna stood ever by him and caught in a cup the drops of venom falling on Loki." Loki, the god of evil, was punished by being bound upon a rock in the frozen north. A poisonous adder was hung over him, dropping its venom upon his face. His beautiful and faithful wife Sigyn crouches by his side, and saves him from the poison by catching it in a little cup. When the cup is full, she must empty it into the sea; and, twist as he may, the burning venom drips on Loki's face. The earthquakes were said to be caused by his mad writhings, with which he tried to escape his agony." In Norse mythology, Loki is the personification/deity of mischief. He murdered Baldr, the god of joy and peace, and was punished by being bound to three slabs of stone with the entrails of his son Narfi.

Circus Sideshow (Parade de cirque) 1887-88 Georges Seurat French At the Salon des Indépendants in 1888 Seurat demonstrated the versatility of his technique by exhibiting Circus Sideshow, a nighttime outdoor scene in artificial light, and Models, an indoor, daylight scene (Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia). This is Seurats first nocturnal painting and the first to depict popular entertainment. It represents the parade, or sideshow, of the Circus Corvi at the annual Gingerbread Fair, held in eastern Paris around the place de la Nation, in spring 1887. Sideshows were staged outside the circus tent, for free, to entice passersby to purchase tickets. The onlookers at the far right are queued on stairs leading to the box office.

The Cathedrals of Broadway. Artist: Florine Stettheimer (American, Rochester, New York 1871-1944 New York, New York). Dimensions: 60 1/8 x 50 1/8 in. (152.7 x 127.3 cm). Date: 1929.The Cathedrals of Broadway captures the magical atmosphere of neon-lit theaters, which offered films as well as live performances. As the United States entered the Great Depression, many Americans turned to the world of entertainment to escape reality. Here, New York's mayor Jimmy Walker throws out the first pitch of the baseball season in a cinema newsreel. An elaborate stage show takes place below the screen, while the names of famous theaters glow around the central proscenium arch. Stettheimer gives little hint of the harsh conditions that confronted many New Yorkers in the 1930s. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
