Shock horror: why art's so obsessed with the grotesque

In Jonathan Pain's strange sculpture there are many parts of the cockroach, growing and misplaced body. Teeth tongue, fleshy bunch of fleshy, and eyeballs in your own little meat pouch ... Please do not tell me you are not shocked, not shocked, or not surprised . Fear never really got old. I said that this art is very tired and very tired

Since we have not changed as a physical life, weirdness has endurance. As long as we have a body, we can experience the fear of the body. This also applies to art, movies, literature. The so-called "grotesque" art can be traced back to the medieval imagination. In Angowelux poetry Beowulf, terrible monster Glendell murdered a warrior sleeping at the king 's honey pole. In medieval art, there are many evil creatures. In the 15th and 16th centuries, they achieved excellent imagination in Northern European art. We are still looking at the grotesque art of Bosch, Bruegel, Grünewald.

True fear is our northern people who clan together together on cold winter nights, while imagining monsters in the dark. The Italian Renaissance saw beauty better than monsters in the world. However, the term "grotesque" for art is created during the Italian Renaissance. Artists, including Raphael, lowered the rope to the underground gallery when the ruins of Domus Aurea (Golden House) of the ancient emperor Nero were discovered under the hills of Esquiline in Rome. As the underpass is like a cave, the mural paintings of the Renaissance are known as "grotesque" in the cave - this gorgeous palace - inspired by all the fancy leaves, masks, and Sartre. But as an Italian it is very beautiful

Therefore, grotesque original means underground art. It changed its meaning, but the image like Pain came from the "underground" place from the ugly deformation part of imagination. The real fear of the First World War exacerbated the grotesque of contemporary art. It is in the center of Dada and Surrealism. The most strange image of the art of the 20th century includes Picasso's bullfighting, self-destructive creatures of Dali, broken dolls of Hans Bergmer, and the tragic anatomy of Francis Bacon.

But grotesque has not actually changed. It is always new, but it is always very old. The Belmar brothers and brothers Chapman may seem to be typical of modern times, but the terrible appeal of their art does not surprise the Hieronymous Bosch or collector who craves his unique painting. The fear the painter saw 500 years ago is as concerned as the artist created today. When you look at the darkness, monsters are always the same

It is clear that Tony Podesta likes shocking art. Art I will not fit in my house But shocking, arrogant, or eerie art does not make the artist or owner feel eerily or arrogantly. I write a terrible novel. There, horrible, strange things happen to good people, sometimes including children. But because of my commitment to nonviolence, I do not even eat mammals. What is the relevance of pizza? It is zero. 12. A mention to Molok (the sacrifice god of the child) and the sacrifice of the chicken were found in the WikiLeaks e - mail that the DNC staff sent to Hillary. Not surprisingly, Bill Clinton wrote in his book how he was fascinated by Voodoo Magic, and Hillary Clinton wrote her paper on her hero, Sol Alinski's book, Satan's recognition
