There are some very pretty paintings in that article, but I guess I don't draw any correlations to "gender fluidity" in anything. As far as the writing, it's making an awful lot of presuppositions combined with addressing his infidelities (so he obviously had a penchant for a certain look of woman, and I think most people tend to be drawn to whatever "types" they're attracted to, it's not unique to him in particular). IOW: This makes no sense. |

IOW: This makes no sense. Agreed. If I didn't know any better, I would almost think that some BBC Arts writer was trying to hammer a square peg into a round hole because they wanted to (or were instructed) to find something in their field that was gender-relevant. |

That was the impression I got as well, and I'm not sure if it's because he's only particularly adept at drawing that one face, or, if his goal is to create women with extremely similar features to the point where they all look like sisters. It could be either a result of a limitation, or an intentional approach. Regardless, nothing in any of those suggests any aspect of what I could even remotely deduce as "gender fluidity." |
