Images of Horror and Fantasy - Gert Schiff

Images of Horror and Fantasy by Gert Schiff is a chilling exploration of how artists have visualized fear, despair, madness, and pain throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Through perceptive critical and psychological analyses, Schiff examines the ways in which art reflects the anxieties of modern life, particularly in response to war and human atrocities. Divided into thematic chapters, the book showcases a range of haunting imagery, with over 100 reproductions—some in color—accompanied by detailed commentary. A fascinating yet unsettling study.
