Soft-eyed Madonnas or lascivious temptress, women and their bodies have always been the favorite subject of art. They were constantly portrayed… through male eyes. Drawing from original myths to the most contemporary and subversive representations, The Infinite Woman highlights the emancipatory potential of the representation of the feminine, particularly by women. From Botticelli to Judy Chicago via Laure Prouvost and Lisa Yuskavage, this brilliant exhibition offers us images of dazzling desire and powerful and disobedient bodies.

Did you know?

The art critic John Berger noticed, in his analysis of paintings in European art, that the intended viewer of these paintings of women...was always a man. The next time you see a beautiful nude, ask yourself who is supposed to be looking at that body, and if it is devoid of seduction.
