Grotesque Visions: The Science of Berlin Dada (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781501369940)

Grotesque Visions focuses on the radical avant-garde interventions of Salomo Friedl舅der (aka Mynona), Til Brugman, and Hannah Hh as they challenged the questionable practices and evidentiary claims of late-19th- and early-20th-century science. 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.
