By: Frederic J. SchwartzHow artists in twentieth-century Germany adapted the idea of the medical or legal case as an artistic strategy to push to the fore sexualities, scandals, and crimes that were otherwise concealed.
In early twentieth-century Germany, the artistic avant-garde borrowed procedures from the medical and juridical realms to expose and debate matters that society preferred remain hidden and unspoken. Frederic J. Schwartz explores how the evocation or creation of a “case” provided artists with a means to engage themes that ranged from blasphemy to Lustmord, or sexual murder. Shedding light on the case as a cultural form, Schwartz shows its profound effect on artists and the ways it dovetailed with methods used by these figures to exploit fundamental changes taking place across the mass media of their time.
As Schwartz shows, the case was a common denominator that connected seemingly disparate works. George Grosz and Rudolf Schlichter drew on it for their violent visual art, as did architect Adolf Loos when he equated ornament with crime. Expressionists, meanwhile, approached the question of whether the so-called “mad” shared a right of public expression with those deemed sane, and examined medical and legal approaches to what society labeled as insanity. The case also took on a personal dimension when artists found themselves confronted with, or chose to engage with, the legal system. German courts prosecuted John Heartfield and others for their provocative works, while Bertolt Brecht created publicity for himself by suing the firm to whom he sold the film rights to The Threepenny Opera. Provocative and insightful, The Culture of the Case offers a privileged view of the spaces of representation in which images—in some instances, as cases—functioned at a key moment of modernity.

Eye patches that work
Color: Pink (PDRN)
Love them! Cooling to the eyes, easy to apply with no slipping. These eyes patches work and they’re great for the price. The only patches I’ll buy going forward. I just apply my eye cream first and then follow with the patches and you can definitely see the results once removing.

Amazing 1000/10 love this
Absolutely love this product can’t recommend it enough. I’m a waxer and tell all my clients about this product to prevent and treat ingrowns. Especially when there’s inflammation (red and painful). I have acne prone skin triggered by dairy/gluten and I use this after my Brazilian wax, on my face, my back and anywhere where I’m breaking out. The ingredients are great and not harsh on the skin. I’ve also been noticing my bikini hyperpigmentation slowly getting lighter too!

Does what it needs to do…
Tried to wax myself (ouch, I know). But I think this stuff actually worked. I know the hair cycle is like 8 weeks or so, so I got one cycle in and less ingrown hairs for sure. I love, love the easy of use and how you can just roll it on and don’t need a cotton pad or something.
