Questions About Monkeys In Art
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The origin of the three wise monkeys comes from a Japanese saying that translates to "speak no evil, see no evil and hear no evil."

On 1stDibs, find a selection of art and decorative objects depicting the three wise monkeys.
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 19, 2025The famous Danish wooden monkey is a work by designer Kay Bojesen. He became world-famous for creating wooden toys that had a soulful presence and an impish sense of humor. With more than 2,000 pieces to his name, he was one of Denmark's most prolific artisans in the 20th century. He is best known for his playful and cheerful monkeys. Find a selection of Kay Bojesen pieces on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The three wise monkeys represent the idea that a person should see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A server would use a monkey dish to present nuts and other small finger foods and condiments. The name comes from the centuries-old practice of giving a small portion of food to a monkey to determine if it was poisoned. Shop a collection of monkey dishes on 1stDibs.
- What kind of art is Western art?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Western art can reference art made in the American West, typically at the end of the 19th century.

On 1stDibs, find a variety of original artwork from top artists.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024In contemporary art, conceptual art is a movement that began in the 1960s. Artists producing conceptual art assign more importance to the idea behind the art than to the piece itself. An example is Joseph Kosuth’s One and Three Chairs, a piece consisting of a real chair, a photograph of a chair and the dictionary definition of the word chair. When the work was displayed, Kosuth included instructions for any chair to be photographed and then displayed beside its image. In this way, the chair itself is not the artwork. Rather, the art comes from examining the way the object, image and words provide competing and complementary definitions of what a chair is. Find a large selection of fine art on 1stDibs.
- What type of art is KAWS’s art?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024Many people consider KAWS’s art type to be Pop art. The style first emerged in the 1950s. In stark contrast to traditional artistic practice, Pop art’s practitioners drew on imagery from popular culture, using things like comic books, advertising, product packaging and other commercial media to create original paintings, prints and sculptures that celebrated ordinary life in the most literal way. In his work, KAWS similarly appropriates pop phenomena like Mickey Mouse, the Smurfs, the Simpsons and SpongeBob SquarePants. Shop a selection of KAWS art on 1stDibs.

Mandala art fits this definition due to its association with the Hindu and Buddhist faiths. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of folk art from some of the world's top sellers.
- Where do art collectors buy art?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024Art collectors buy their art from a few places. They may attend auctions to bid on works or attend gallery exhibitions to purchase pieces. Some arrange to buy art through dealers, while others shop on trusted online platforms to find paintings, prints, sculptures and other works. Explore a diverse assortment of art on 1stDibs.
