The Sinister Side reveals a hidden symbolic language in the visual arts: that of the perceived differences between the left and right sides of the body. Long forgotten or misunderstood, it is a symbolism that has been interpreted by artists differently through the centuries, and that sheds new light on some of our greatest works of art.
