Created by a professional effects animator. A collection of
original illustrated nude female forms with long and stylized hair.
Inspired by Art Nouveau style and aesthetics of women and nature.
The subject of deformity and disability in the ancient Greco-Roman
world has experienced a surge in scholarship over the past two
decades. Recognizing a vast, but relatively un(der)explored, corpus
of evidence, scholars have sought to integrate the deformed and
disabled body back into our understanding of ancient society and
culture, art and representation. The Hunchback in Hellenistic and
Roman Art works towards this end, using the figure of the hunchback
to re-think and re-read images of the 'Other' as well as key issues
that lie at the very heart of ancient representation. The author
takes an art-historical approach, examining key features of the
corpus of hunchbacks, as well as representations of the deformed
and disabled more generally. This provides fertile ground for a
re-assessment of current, and likewise marginalized, scholarship on
the miniature in ancient art, hyperphallicism in ancient art, and
the emphasis on the male body in ancient art.
