گروتسک

Grotesque describes weird, distorted shapes and forms—like Halloween masks—but in art, performance, and literature it takes on deeper meaning by creating a peculiar emotional effect that combines unsettling strangeness with sympathetic pity. Understanding grotesque matters because it reveals how artists deliberately blend discomfort and compassion to engage audiences in complex, thought-provoking ways.
