Geschlechterkampf

As logo of the exhibition two paintings have been used: Salome by Jean Benner and Elle (She) by Gustav-Adolf Mossa, the depiction of a femme fatale with the blood of her male victims smeared on her thighs, sitting on a mountain of their corpses.

An inscription reads: hoc volo, sic iubeo; sit pro ratione voluntas.

The male pseudonym was used by the countess Adélaïde Nathalie Marie Hedwige Philippine d’Affry, who could not benefit from an education at the PAFA where Eakins allowed women to study the nude.

Lilith was Adam's first wife and had to be replaced by Eve, when she showed her open hair in public and also fell otherwise out of the female role model.

Franz von Stuck, Edvard Munch, Otto Dix and Frida Kahlo are all represented by a number of paintings.
