★ ABOUT THIS ITEM ★
Celebrate the glamorous, sensual world of Gerda Wegener, the Danish painter and illustrator whose elegant Art Deco women helped define the visual culture of early 20th-century Paris.
Visions of Beauty features a curated selection of Wegener’s paintings and illustrations, with a particular focus on her sophisticated female subjects: fashionable women, femmes fatales, intimate portraits, mythological figures, and scenes charged with theatricality, beauty, and desire. Wegener became known for depictions of women that were unusually self-possessed and modern for their time, as well as for erotic works exploring female sexuality and relationships between women.
Her work also occupies an important place in LGBTQ+ and queer art history. Wegener repeatedly portrayed her longtime muse and spouse Lili Elbe, a transgender woman and artist who underwent pioneering gender-affirming surgery in 1930. Wegener’s images of women, lesbian intimacy, gender expression, and Elbe have since become closely associated with LGBTQ+ cultural history; The Art Newspaper has described Wegener and Elbe as icons of the LGBTQ+ movement.
With its mix of Art Deco elegance, feminine beauty, fashion, intimacy, and unapologetically queer imagery, this calendar makes a distinctive gift for admirers of women artists, vintage illustration, LGBTQ+ history, fashion art, and the decadent visual culture of 1920s Paris.
