Leonor Fini

Fini, b1907-d1996, was an incredible female artist whose work has been neglected too long. Her art and life philosophies (on polyamory, androgyny, power...) were the predecessors for many of the iconic images that we see today  in modern art. 
YOU MUST SEE THIS EXHIBIT!! 
 curated by Lissa Rivera

See the power of her work in person at The Museum of Sex. "While Fini maintained friendships with her almost entirely male artist counterparts, she steadfastly rejected not only the woman-as-muse views of the movement's leader, André Breton, but also art history's centuries-old approach to one of its most popular subjects—the female nude. (Not to mention any notions of gender norms, which are of course still popular to this day.) As much as Fini stood out at the time, though, it's only now, more than two decades after her death, that the artist is getting her due. Her first-ever American museum survey, "Leonor Fini: Theatre of Desire, 1930-1990," which is on view at the Museum of Sex in New York through May 2019, showcases just how much Fini's often humorous work differs from your usual erotica; decades before any discussion of the so-called "female gaze," Fini was known for upending the very concept of the nude in art by objectifying the men, not the women, in her paintings—an approach since embraced by the likes of Andy Warhol and Madonna. Take a look, here."
