Picasso.mania : Demoiselles from elsewhere
Barcelona’s Carrer d’Avinyó is a street famous for its brothel and prostitutes...
For African and African American artists, Picasso is an ambivalent figure. While he helped raise awareness of African art, he also made it part of Western art history, which only considered it from the perspective of Western artists. Women artists also highlighted the fact that his models and prostitutes were artistic objects rather than subjects.
Artists working in the post-colonial era and its relationships of dominance, such as Faith Ringgold, Robert Colescott, Leonce Raphael Agbodjelou, Wangechi Mutu and Romuald Hazoumé, have called attention to the “Africanness” of Les Demoiselles. Women artists have given these figures a more subjective viewpoint.
