{"product_id":"dr-haakenson-o-thomas-grotesque-visions-9781501369902","title":"Grotesque Visions","description":"Grotesque Visions focuses on the radical avant-garde interventions of Salomo Friedländer (aka Mynona), Til Brugman, and Hannah Höch 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 Friedländer\/Mynona, Brugman, Höch, and other Berlin-based artists used the artistic grotesque to criticize, satirize, and subvert a variety of forms of supposed scientific objectivity.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n The volume concludes by examining the exhibition Grotesk!: 130 Jahre Kunst der Frechheit\/Comic Grotesque: Wit and Mockery in German Arts, 1870-1940. In contrast to the ahistorical and amorphous concept informing the exhibition, Thomas O. Haakenson reveals a unique deployment of the artistic grotesque that targeted specific established and emerging scientific discourses at the turn of the last fin-de-siècle.","brand":"Bloomsbury 3PL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53801002729814,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/dr-haakenson-o-thomas-grotesque-visions-9781501369902","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
