Observationes Anatomicae Vol 33 / Seille, Genevieve., 1989

 Item
Identifier: CC-02630-2673
Scope and Contents

This book depicts typical imagery of Seille's work, viz. surrealistic, impossibly constructed, human figures, automatic handwriting in different calligraphic styles, lists of numbers and labels unrelated to image or text are present in the book and on two facing pages which depict the lungs as one to four chambers in five pseudo-humanistic figures. Although the obsessive calligraphy and strange visual imagery resemble artwork done by artists in mental institutions (outsiders), Seille is not an outsider. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
