Synopsis
Presenting the most compelling explanation yet for the bizarre nature of the Black Dahlia murder, this volume includes never-before published crime-scene photographs and links the alleged killer to a vast array of influential people., Bridging the worlds of high art and true crime, Exquisite Corpse presents a unique perspective on the most notorious unsolved murder case of the twentieth century--the bizarre 1947 killing of Elizabeth Short, better known as the Black Dahlia murder.Unlike previous books on the Black Dahlia, Exquisite Corpse provides a detailed and compelling explanation for the unusual nature of this gruesome killing. Exquisite Corpse reveals, through visual comparisons and historical research, what seem to be profound connections between surrealist art and the Black Dahlia case--both before and after the murder. The evidence includes startling crime-scene and autopsy photographs of Elizabeth Short, rarely seen photographs by Man Ray, and surprising comparisons with a wide range of surrealist artworks. A +web of connections+ indicates a direct link or one degree of separation between the alleged killer and a host of influential people in the arts and film industry in Los Angeles in the 1930s and 40s. A timeline provides a revealing chronology of events surrounding the murder.Exquisite Corpse is a must-read for anyone interested in true crime, art history, Hollywood noir, and the infamous Black Dahlia case.

    • Exquisite Corpse

      This book was a good corollary after reading Steven Hodel's two books, The Black Dahlia Avenger and Most Evil. The Exquisite Corpse book really gives you an insight into the mindset of Dr. George Hill Hodel who I think really was a serial killer as well as a doctor and the Hollywood set and other people who were interested in the Surreal art scene and the Marquis de Sade. Although most people who liked Surrealistic art were not serial killers and never would have acted out their fantasies and misogynistic ideas, some would and did. You need to read the book to find out what the "Exquisite Corpse" is because it is a kind of sick game. I bought this book because I was interested in the art that served to spur and twist or feed the fantasies of Dr. George Hill Hodel, the Hollywood set and ...

    • Interesting.....well presented....not for the squeamish

    • A wonderful collector item for any Black Dahlia Enthusiast!

      This is a wonderful book to have for any black dahlia collector. There are plenty of explanations along with images that hypothesize on how surrealism played a huge role in the murder of "Beth Short".
