A mostra apresenta ao lado dos clichês familiares sobre a vida dos artistas particulares e suas relações com as mulheres para permitir uma análise mais desapaixonada da figura feminina como um tema em seu trabalho. Ao fazê-lo, as mulheres tornam-se mais do que meras projeções de fantasias masculinas e desejos e, em vez ganhar um significado extraordinário da sua própria. Na obra de Picasso, por exemplo, as mulheres muitas vezes agem como um espelho para os problemas e as confusões do seu tempo, enquanto que no trabalho de Beckmann a figura feminina parece representar a liberdade do outro mundo que contrasta com as duras realidades do mundo em torno dele.

The show sets aside familiar clichés about the artists’ private lives and their relationships to women to allow for a more dispassionate analysis of the female figure as a subject matter in their work. In doing so, women become more than mere projections of male fantasies and desires and instead gain an extraordinary significance of their own. In the work of Picasso, for instance, women often act as a mirror for the problems and turmoils of his time, whereas in Beckmann’s work the female figure seems to represent otherworldly freedom which contrasts with the stark realities of the world around him.

Curadora, Carla Schulz-Hoffmann, explica »Ao contrário de pontos de vista comuns e interpretações da história da arte, as obras de Picasso, Beckmann e De Kooning representam as mulheres livres e emancipadas. Suas obras mostram o poder da arte: elas ainda nos provocam hoje, onde imagens pornográficas fazem parte da nossa cultura visual. Isto significa que as obras nos alcançam em um nível mais profundo e mostram a força da arte. "

Curator, Carla Schulz-Hoffmann explains, »Unlike common views and interpretations in art history, the works of Picasso, Beckmann and de Kooning represent free and emancipated women. Their works show the power of art: they still do provoke us today where pornographic images are part of our visual culture. This means that the works reach us on a deeper level and show the strength of art.«
