Feixend, tumb, Fratzen schneidend oder angeekelt blicken sie den Betrachter an - in Blei gegossene oder in Alabaster geschnittene Charakterstudien. Skulpturen, die keinem klassischen Schönheitsideal verpflichtet sind, sondern den Betrachter mit einer Typologie des Hässlichen konfrontieren. Die faszinierenden Charakterstudien des Barockbildhauers Franz Xaver Messerschmidt stehen den physiognomischen Lehren seines Zeitgenossen Johann Kaspar Lavater nahe, erstaunen jedoch durch die unzeitgemäße gestalterische Aggressivität, ja Modernität, mit der sie die Kehrseiten menschlichen Ausdrucks vorführen. Messerschmidt, der während seiner Jahre als Lehrer an der kaiserlichen Akademie in Wien auch konventionelle Bildnisse von Kaiserin Maria Theresia oder Joseph II. schuf, begann etwa 1770 sich ausschließlich mit den »Charakterköpfen« zu beschäftigen, was ihm rasch den Ruf eines Sonderlings einbrachte. Wegen einer nicht eindeutig zu bestimmenden psychischen Erkrankung vorzeitig pensioniert, verbrachte er den Rest seines Lebens zurückgezogen in Preßburg. Die umfangreiche Monografie zu diesem Ausnahmekünstler versucht erstmals eine Deutung des »Hintersinns« seines ebenso ungewöhnlichen wie konsequenten Werks.

so far so good
I was surprised at this pair of pillow cases only because the material seemed impossible to be cooling - it's that weird polyester blend. So far I have not awoken feeling sweaty around my face and scalp. I don't recall what I originally paid but I think it is great value for money! If you are sensitive to out of the box smell, I washed mine first and it didn't impede on the efficacy of the cooling!

It’s like sleeping on a beach in San Vito lo Capo
Italian voice:
I’m a big meaty fella so I put off a lot of heat ya hear. These pillow cases have changed my life. One moment they’re hot and the next you flip them and you’re blasted with a blast of ice cool what it feels like to chew 5 gum feeling capeesh. I would reccomend these pillow cases to even my grandma. If ya wanta get a rest so good that it feels like ya been sleeping with the fishes get these pillow cases, they’re the real deal. Then stop at Pauline’s joint and grab a slice of pizza say Vinnie sent ya. Anyways I gotta go my wife’s cooking up a mean lasgna and we’re gonna watch the dodgers. Let me know how these treat ya I guarantee they will change your life. Vinnie out

Soft "cooling" case.
Yes it is very cool when you lay on it. It doesn't stay cold though. Within a minute or 2 to whatever your temp is.

Great for hair and skin. Great buy.
These pillow cases are great for my hair and skin. They look good, hold up well in the washer and dryer, and the price is great. They are cooling. Of course I wish they could be more cooling, but honestly I'm not sure that's even possible. Great pillow cases. Already bought more for other heads. Would buy again.

Hot hot hot. Side sleepers will hate it
At first touch, these are the coldest pillowcases I own … but only for seconds. Once you actually lay on them, within seconds they adjust to your body temp, the heat feels trapped, my head begins to feel hotter than before I laid down - which has in turn caused me loathe these pillow cases. I hate that I have missed the return window. Would never buy again, would never recommend. My satin ones aren’t even this hot! I gave them the good ole 30-day try.
Side sleepers - if you are like me and sleep on your side with arm tucked under pillow - flipping this pillow over in hopes of a cold side - forget it, it’s already hot from your arm.
