More about the book
The femme fatale is a myth; a projection; a construct. It represents a rigid, immutable female stereotype: the seductive, supposedly demonic woman who holds men spellbound. The catalogue to accompany the exhibition FEMME FATALE is dedicated to this scintillating, cliché-ridden and long male-dominated image. View – Power – Gender. It explores not only the artistic manifestations of the topic since 1800, but also embarks on a critical examination of the myth of the femme fatale throughout history, right up to the feminist deconstruction and appropriation of the idea. Artists: Sonia Boyce, Evelyn de Morgan, John Collier, Lovis Corinth, Mary Beth Edelson, Nan Goldin, Birgit Jürgenssen, Fernand Khnopff, Maria Lassnig, Max Liebermann, Jeanne Mammen , Gustave Moreau, Edvard Munch, Odilon Redon , Dante Gabriel Rossetti , Mickalene Thomas, Betty Tompkins, Franz von Stuck, John William Waterhouse, Francesca Woodman
