Women

Annelise Kretschmer... Untitled (1920s, vintage silver print, mounted on cardboard, 30,5 x 39,1 cm). From the exhibition Women, 27 June - 1 September 2009 at Galerie Priska Pasquer in Cologne. "...The opening credits to George Cukor's 1939 film 'The Women', which features no male actors whatsoever, announce that: 'It's all about men'. The exhibition entitled 'Women' spans a wide arc from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day. It is not only about faces and bodies, but shows different, predominantly male interpretations of femininity and gender roles, including surprising alternatives – while also giving a brief overview of photographic styles from Symbolism to New Vision, documentary style and conceptual photographic art."
