Joseph Merrick, London (1862–1890)
Condemned to a life of rejection, he spent years exhibited in traveling shows, labeled a phenomenon due to his severe malformations.
Yet in his diary, The Elephant Man wrote:
“It is true that my form is very strange, but blaming myself for it is blaming God.”
On a canvas steeped in sensitivity and quiet strength,
a new abstract form emerges:
The Elephant Man.
