While the work of female photographers is often judged in terms of their femininity, whether or not their work is about gender, the work of male photographers often seems to exist independently of their gender. Fotomuseum Den Haag presents work from its own collection by male photographers who consciously or unconsciously play with the idea of masculinity. Their work reveals that this concept cannot be strictly defined.
With works from the collection by Hans Eijkelboom, Samuel Fosso, Erwin Olaf, Paul Blanca, Yasumasa Morimura and Thorsten Brinkmann, among others, this exhibition examines how photographers explore, understand and express their gender. The result is a multifaceted image of what masculinity is and can be.
The Point of View exhibition shows how ideas around gender are constantly changing over time, and how they have been expressed visually – in the form of an extravagantly decorative dragon-shaped gold toothpick, a Gispen desk, and a portrait of William III, Prince of Orange, wearing a dress. These 150 paintings, prints, drawings, costumes, accessories, sculptures, photographs and items of furniture from the Rijksmuseum colection show that gender is to be found in all things
In addition to all-time favourites like van Rysselberghe’s Portrait de Laure Flé (1898), Picasso’s Paysage de Cannes au crepuscule (1960) and de Chirico’s Piazza d’Italia (1970), the presentation will also feature a wealth of new acquisitions from the past four years, on show for the very first time at the museum. An exciting programme of events and activities also accompanies the exhibition.
