“Schielens Operation (Squint Surgery)” – 1944 Art Photo

"Squint Surgery" - 1944. 📷 A disturbing and surreal work by Herbert List. Herbert List immerses us here in a fascinating and disturbing vision, where the line between the real and the unreal is erased. Staging an eye operation on a wax mannequin, this photograph plays with our perceptions, our fears and our fantasies. In a style mixing surrealism and documentary, the image disturbs with its hyperrealism: the inert figures seem to throb with a strange vitality, questioning the very nature of representation and illusion. The artificial hands, the fixed gaze, the deep black background amplify this atmosphere of uncanny strangeness, where the human body is simulated, manipulated, transformed. Herbert List, a major figure in metaphysical photography, explores here the fragility of the gaze and perception. He who has always flirted with dreamlike and classical aesthetics, signs with this work a visual nightmare as sublime as it is disturbing. 💎 characteristics of the print: ✅ black and white art photography. ✅ glossy finish for intense contrast and unique depth. ✅ professional paper – premium quality 270g/m² ✅ format: 20.5 X 30.5 cm.
