Description
After Thomas Webster
I start a new series of 10 images, in no real order this time. it is a question of drawing up each time a portrait of a woman, strong enough to affirm her identity in a world dominated by patriarchy. These women of different eras, origins, and different ages continue to fight for their visibility, despite prejudice. My list is not exhaustive, there is so much to say; likewise, the dominant male gaze remains on the lookout under the presence, in each image, of an invisible man, who retains a share of power. Finally, each painting chosen places this fight for better visibility for women in a history of art largely shaped by men.
Thank you for the view and your comments.

Il y a encore peu, c'était les femmes qui étaient invisibles au football, en effet.

J'ai voulu célébrer une identité plurielle à travers Griedge Mbock (numéro 19 de l'équipe de France féminine) en opposition avec un joueur anonyme de l'équipe brésilienne. Le tableau de Thomas Webster (19e siècle) montre un groupe de jeunes garçons s'élançant après le ballon sur une prairie, avec sans doute un gardien à gauche, tentant de faire face. J'ai choisi ce tableau, pour rappeler que l'association des genres et des sports, se fait très tôt, dès l'enfance, et qu'elle est aussi une affaire de regard sociétal et d'éducation.

A timely image, of particular resonance in this country with England winning the Women's Europen Cup and attracting bigger (and more diverse) audiences than the men did 2 years ago! These remarkable women have really shown the men a thing or two both on and off the pitch!

I find it good, too, that women's sports competitions finally have a developing audience and visibility.

The woman's soccer team in Kansas City (near my home) is unbeaten for 12 games in a row which is a better record than any of the male sports teams near me. =) I like seeing this female player beat an invisible man. As for the painting, I really didn't know that Soccer has been around so long but that seems to be clearly what the boys in the painting are engaged in. XD
