Joel-Peter Witkin
Joel-Peter Witkin (born 1939) is known for his grotesque while simultaneously beautiful photographic tableaux. Heavily inspired by art history, his photographs often include religious iconography and literary references. His images consist of mutilated corpses, amputated body parts and social outsiders, such as transsexuals, hermaphrodites, the physically deformed and dwarves. His work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the J. Paul Getty Museum, the National Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Centre Georges Pompidou.
