Vintage platinum print
cm 40,3 x 33,2 (cm 31,8 x 25,8 picture) | 15.9 x 13.2 in. (12.8 x 10.2 in. picture)
Joel Peter Witkin has the habit of using bodies of corpses for his neo-Baroque-style compositions and in this case is made more acceptable by the noir irony of the title that makes one imagine curious mutilations and fanciful existences. Here the reference is to one of Man Ray's best-known photographs, 'Le violon d'Ingres'.
