Dr. Theron Blackwood 🔍

Scottish Aesthetician and Philosopher of the Grotesque (1872 - 1945)

A largely ignored academic, Blackwood published esoteric treatises on the aesthetics of the 'non-comely' and the inherent formal properties of the intentionally dissonant, arguing for a structured understanding of artistic ugliness and disruption.

Art historian, critic, curator
