Title: Body Modern
Description: Lavishly illustrated with more than 100 images, "Body Modern" imaginatively explores the relationship between conceptual image, image production, and embodied experience, offering the first in-depth critical study of Fritz Kahn and his visual rhetoric. Michael Sappol concludes that Kahn?s illustrations pose profound and unsettling epistemological questions about the construction and performance of the self.
