"The Evil Eye--Its Dark and Ancient History, Its Current Practices . . . and Me!"

The evil eye isn’t just superstition — it’s one of the most powerful symbols in art history. From ancient mosaics and religious icons to Picasso, Basquiat, and even the U.S. dollar bill — the idea that a single look could curse you has haunted artists for thousands of years. This symbol has crossed cultures, religions, and centuries — and it still shows up in modern art today. Protection? Paranoia? Surveillance? Maybe all three. 👁️ #MicrodoseOfArt #EvilEye #ArtHistoryNerd #SymbolismInArt #Basqu
