| Exquisite Corpse: Surrealism and the Black Dahlia Murder
| | Mark Nelson
| Sometimes life collides with art in the most violent way. According to Mark Nelson and Sarah Bayliss, that brutal interface played out in the Black Dahlia murder, the unsolved 1947 killing and mutilation of would-be actress Elizabeth Short. Drawing on recent Black Dahlia Avenger revelations about George Hodel, the authors bare links between this savage murder and surrealist art, both before and after the slaying. Exquisite Corpse isn't just hip nouveau art criticism; Nelson and Bayliss here pinpoint direct and near-direction connections between the alleged murderer and influential L.A. artists and filmmakers.
