L'Entre
duex LEntre deux (Between Two) is a very obvious homage to the colors and patterns of Gustav Klimt. One of Finis most daring directions was to take components of other artists works and translate them into her own lexicon. A young college student approached me and requested permission to study LEntre Deux with the intent of writing his thesis on the painting. He would come into the gallery on Sunday afternoons and spend hours in front of it. One day I asked him to describe the painting. He started by saying, Its that moment when two people find..... I interrupted and asked him to come down to earth and simply describe what was in the painting. His answer was, Two women....... I, again, interrupted and asked, Are you sure? He quietly studied the painting for a few minutes longer and then told me that he would be re-writing the thesis as he couldnt be sure if it was, in fact, two women. Fini loved to obfuscate. She loved mixing the sexes and blurring the lines. Her women were often fierce, but also could be soft and yielding. Her men, though normally less active and in need of protection and nurturing could, on occasion, also be strong and equal to Finis women. This particular painting was part of the traveling erotic art exhibition curated by German sexologists, Drs. Phyllis and Eberhardt Kronhauser. It was displayed in a separate room with one of Finis other paintings and, ....shown only to special viewers. It was deemed too provocative and too blatantly sexual for the average museumgoer. |
