Hysteria The Transgression Of DesireStock informationGeneral Fields
Special Fields
DescriptionHysteria. The transgression of desire presents the influence and interest of the surrealist movement to recover the imaginary created by Dr. Jean-Martin Charcot in his Photographic Iconography of the Salpêtrière, a series of volumes in which he classified and documented with photographs the patients in the different stages of the disease. With a strong masculine gaze, the surrealist group used this vision to represent in their art a female body turned into a consumer product. |
