Saw this painting by Max Ernst in a museum today and it's the most accurate depiction of my gender experience I've ever seen
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
It captures the interaction femininity and non-binarity have within myself so well. The right figure is femininity or female identity within myself holding up non-binarity and helping it stand as it is more easily defined and less complex to describe. The left figure changes texture and materials a lot and is hard to describe and grasp and really caputures how hard it is for me to grasp my own idea of non-binarity. And I like that they're hugging and interacting because that's what I feel like as well.
I saw it in the exhibition "Queere Moderne" at Kunststammlung NRW. Here's more info about the artwork on their website: https://sammlung.kunstsammlung.de/en/works/3507
Very interesting, thank you for sharing! It's interesting to me that this artwork does not provoke any thought about gender in me, it's too alien for my perception I think. I think it's too animalistic and I need the humanoid form to relate, I'm guessing. Love how different perceptions of art are.
