Description: Fritz Kahn (1888-1968), was a Jewish German gynecologist who was once renowned as a science writer. Kahn’s aim was to express the complexities of the body through visual narratives that anyone could relate to and understand. He and his publisher, Franckh’sche Verlagshandlung of Stuttgart, developed a form of anatomical visualization based on metaphors and analogies drawn from mid 20th-century life and the latest developments in technology.In style, the illustrations reflect the artistic movements and visual trends of their era, notably Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity), Art Deco and Surrealism. The man with a cutaway head pressing a doorbell in Das Leben des Menschen ii (1924) is a conceptual relative of the man with a collage of machine parts for a brain in Raoul Hausmann’s Tatlin at Home (1920).
