"Features rare historical images (1895-1962) from the legendary Théâtre du Grand-Guignol, the Parisian theater which gained notoriety for lurid exhibitions of violence, death, and debauchery. Alongside these rare images are featured works by classic artists such as Gustav Klimt, Alphonse Mucha, Adrien Barrére, Josef Engelhart, André Galland, and Josef Fenneker, plus works by contemporary artists Chris Mars, Dave McKean, Gail Potocki, Michael Zulli, and Malleus (many brand new and never before seen before the publication of this catalog).
