Fuseli and the modern woman : fashion, fantasy, fetishism : [The Courtauld Gallery, London, 14 October 2022 - 8 January 2023, Kunsthaus Zürich, Zürich, 24 February - 21 May 2023]Füssli, Johann HeinrichThis catalogue accompanies the first exhibition devoted to a fascinating group of drawings by the Anglo-Swiss Henry Fuseli (1741–1825), one of eighteenth-century Europe’s most idiosyncratic, original ... and controversial artists. Best known for his notoriously provocative painting The Nightmare, Fuseli energetically cultivated a reputation for eccentricity, with vividly stylised images of supernatural creatures, muscle-bound heroes, and damsels in distress. While these convinced some viewers of the greatness of his genius, others dismissed him as a charlatan, or as completely mad. Often based on the artist’s wife Sophia Rawlins, the women who populate Fuseli’s graphic work tend to adopt brazenly aggressive attitudes, either fixing their gaze directly on the viewer or ignoring our presence altogether. Usually they appear on their own, in isolation on the page; sometimes they are grouped together to form disturbing narratives, erotic fantasies that may be mysterious, vaguely menacing, or overtly transgressive, but where women always play a dominant role. Among the many intriguing questions raised by these works is the extent to which his wife Sophia was actively involved in fashioning her appearance for her own pleasure, as well as for the benefit of her husband.Type of material - catalogue ; adult, seriousPublication and manufacture - London : Paul Holberton Publishing, cop. 2022Language - englishISBN - 978-1-913645-29-8; 978-3-03942-123-7COBISS.SI-ID - 164045571
