Description
Freak Shows and the Modern American Imagination examines the artistic use of freak shows between 1900 and 1950. The freak body in art not only reveals disturbing truths about early twentieth-century prejudices, but it also becomes a space for exploring the profound social impact of contemporary events such as the Great Migration, World War I, and the Great Depression.
