"Behave: A Reflection on Human Conduct through Art and History" From the brutal British soldiers in South Africa to the elegant ladies attending a dance, human behavior has always been an intriguing subject. In this collection of diverse images, we witness different aspects of how people behave. The litho titled "A Reply to Mr Merriman" portrays the behavior of these soldiers, known for their harsh actions during colonial times. It serves as a reminder of the consequences that can arise when power is misused. On the other hand, a comic postcard showcases a woman getting ready for a dance. Her excitement and anticipation reflect how one's behavior can change in moments of joy and celebration. "Cocktails and Crinolines: That Victorian Revival" takes us back to an era where social etiquette dictated proper conduct. The image captures both elegance and restraint, highlighting how society expected individuals to behave according to strict norms. Priscilla Lane's black-and-white photo reminds us that even famous personalities are not exempt from societal expectations. Their public image often influences their behavior as they strive to maintain a certain reputation. In contrast, an engraving titled "See how you behave. " suggests that our actions have consequences beyond ourselves. It encourages introspection about our behaviors' impact on others and calls for responsible conduct towards fellow humans. The painting "Unhappy Spirits" by James Gardiner delves into emotions tied to behavioral choices. It explores the inner turmoil caused by negative actions or decisions made without considering their repercussions fully. Meanwhile, six boys engaging in pillow fighting on a New Year card represents youthful exuberance but also teaches valuable lessons about boundaries and respect for others while having fun. David Wright's cover art for "Lady Behave" depicts women challenging societal expectations with confidence and independence—a reminder that sometimes breaking conventions can lead to positive change in behavior dynamics between genders. Gabriel Metsu's artwork shows Mary Magdalen reading—an image that invites contemplation about how knowledge and introspection can shape behavior positively.
