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舅der\/Mynona, Brugman, Hh, and other Berlin-based artists used the artistic grotesque to criticize, satirize, and subvert a variety of forms of supposed scientific objectivity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The volume concludes by examining the exhibition \u003ci\u003eGrotesk!: 130 Jahre Kunst der Frechheit\u003c\/i\u003e\/\u003ci\u003eComic Grotesque: Wit and Mockery in German Arts, 1870-1940\u003c\/i\u003e. In contrast to the ahistorical and amorphous concept informing the exhibition, Thomas O.
