Wounds of the Black Dahlia

WARNING CONTAINS GRAPHIC CONTENT

"Exquisite Corpse" surrealist drawings were all the rage in the 1920s and 1930s among the #Parissurrealists . Is it any coincidence some of these group works by #ManRay (1890-1976) among others, contain parallels to the wounds of #ElizabethShort (1924-1947), known as the #BlackDahlia ? Man Ray was friends with suspected #Blackdahliamurder Dr. #GeorgeHodel . Senator #JosephMcCarthy warned #LosAngeles and many other cities about the dangerous of degenerate art for a reason. Contains graphic content.
