Animals become alternately ferocious or docile as you color in these delicate designs from the imaginative minds of artists working in the Age of Exploration. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe late-15th-century discovery of ancient Roman murals inspired Renaissance artists and designers, who disseminated their grotesque motifs through drawings, prints and patterns in architecture, metalwork, textiles and ceramics. Suddenly, fantastical creatures began to appear in sinuous designs for locks, ewers, rings, tapestries, stained glass and more. Alternately fearsome and playful, graceful and rigid, these works--often measuring just a few inches--are at times erotically charged and at others moralizing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn June 2016, Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum mounts the exhibition \u003cem\u003eFragile Beasts\u003c\/em\u003e, highlighting rarely seen grotesque works on paper from the museum's permanent collection.
