Despite its longevity as a tradition stretching back to at least
the eighteenth century, the Grotesque has only recently become a
non-pejorative term in art and academia. "The Grotesque Factor"
takes a close look at the evolution of the Grotesque, examining
early caricature (Hogarth, Goya), abject, scatological and black
humor, nineteenth-century French art and literature (Grandville,
Baudelaire, Jarry), Jame Ensor, the grotesque in early film and the
grotesque turn in recent British art. It includes 175 extraordinary
works by more than 76 artists, including Francis Bacon, Louise
Bourgeois, Otto Dix, James Ensor, Max Ernst, Jose Gutierrez Solana,
Victor Hugo, Paul Klee, Willem de Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein, Rene
Magritte, Man Ray, Franz Xavier Messerschmidt, Juan Munoz, Meret
Oppenheim, Pablo Picasso, Richard Prince, Juan Sanchez Cotan,
Antonio Saura, Thomas Schutte, Cindy Sherman, Leonardo da Vinci,
Bill Viola and Franz West, among others.
