Description:
Of geniuses, harem fantasies and femmes fatales
Bruno Piglhein - The Egyptian Sword Dancer
The edition of the Kleine Reihe presented here follows in the tradition of several volumes that deal with new additions to the collection of the Hamburger Kunsthalle and take them as the subject and starting point of their narrative. She appears powerful, dangerous and erotic. With the Egyptian Sword Dancer, the Hamburger Kunsthalle received a painting in 2023 that combines the extremely popular 19th-century idea of the femme fatale with Orientalism - both phenomena in which power mechanisms are still at work in our society today. This volume in the ‘Small Series’ therefore primarily aims to pose questions about power relations: What stereotypical ideas can be found in paintings like these and by whom are they constructed? And why are politics and ideology so often negotiated via women's bodies?
