Cose che si trovano in riva all'Adriatico.

Wendy Elia's painting Carmen and Louisa (2017) depicts a naked Spanish couple, holding hands, their arms covered in tattoos. The couple's assertion of togetherness overrides their nakedness, so that the portrait feels far removed from the – much more prevalent – voyeuristic historical depictions of naked women. https://artuk.org/discover/stories/celebrating-women-artists-with-bloomberg-connects

Although Lendvai-Dircksen has been referred to as “brown Erna” for the promotion of Nazi ideals in her work under the Third Reich, her portrait photography can be compared to the work of Dorothea Lange or Walker Evans as documentation of impoverished people, and Margaret Bourke-White also photographed labourers in a heroic light.
