<br/><br/> This title presents works created and inspired by Messerschmidt, an artist both of and ahead of his time. Messerschmidt's 'Character Heads' sculptures situate the artist squarely within the 18th century European Enlightenment. Yet their position at the apparent limits of rational art have made them compelling to future generations of artists.
