Halucinations, from Krüppel

This image offers another example of Heinrich Hoerle’s use of grotesque distortion to convey the intense psychological wounds that have been inflected on wounded men returning from the front. This second Hallucinations print depicts a man who is missing his arms and legs glaring in open-mouthed horror at planters from which new hands and feet beckon and mock him with their easy growth and utter unavailability.
