Mark Mothersbaugh's Beautiful Mutants book

Posted by David Pescovitz, October 22, 2007 8:09 PM | permalink

DEVO founder Mark Mothersbaugh has published a hardcover book collecting his Beautiful Mutants series of "corrected" photographs. As Mothersbaugh writes, these are "images pulled from man's past... then corrected into sickeningly beautiful beings. A study of humans via symmetry using photos both recent & vintage." The Beautiful Mutants book is 288 pages and costs $24.95. Seen above at right is a Beautiful Mutant titled "Kitty and Child: Youngstown, Ohio" (14.75" x 18.75"), which I'm thrilled to have hanging right in front of me.

I am a fan of this person. Devo, Rugrats theme song, and soundtrack for movies like Rushmore

The terror grows exponentially if you are in a gallery covered with these things. Its neat how something so basically gimmicky can have such a emotional impact.

This book is really lovely in person. They did a great job. But lots and lots of creepy pics!
