At Lentos
First museum show for self-confident women
Her masterful color etchings were long considered an insider tip: now Margit Palme, an artist from Linz, has her first museum exhibition at Lentos. She only draws women who enjoy life - and don't put up with anything.
Pablo Picasso became world-famous for his depictions of women, which describe the feminine with grimaces and disfigured bodies. Feminists have repeatedly criticized this.
Linz-based artist Margit Palme (84), however, counters the male gaze in art with a remarkable work that describes the world of women in a completely different way.
Beautiful power women
In dynamic, sometimes provocative poses, her female figures strive to master a self-determined life. They enjoy delicacies, sunbathe on the beach, are skilled sportswomen or even pull out a pistol.
An extraordinary technique
Palme has developed her own stylization in the depiction. Her work can best be categorized as Pop Art. She also occupies an absolutely unique position in the Austrian art scene, as she has been working with aquatint etching for more than six decades and is a master of this intaglio printing technique. The Kunstmuseum Lentos is dedicating a remarkable exhibition to her work.
