Grotesque Visions
Grotesque Visions focuses on the radical avant-garde interventions of Salomo Friedl nder (aka Mynona), Til Brugman, and Hannah H ch as they challenged the questionable practices and evidentiary claims of late-19th- and early-20th-century science. In contrast to the ahistorical and amorphous concept informing the exhibition, Thomas Demonstrating the often excessive measures that pathologists, anthropologists, sexologists, and medical professionals went to present their research in a seemingly unambiguous way, this volume shows how Friedl nder/Mynona, Brugman, H ch, and other Berlin-based artists used the artistic grotesque to criticize, satirize, and subvert a variety of forms of supposed scientific objectivity.The volume concludes by examining the exhibition Grotesk : 130 Jahre Kunst der Frechheit/Comic Grotesque: Wit and Mockery in German Arts, 1870-1940.
