Tamar 1930
In Höch Tamar we see the figure of a women seated with crossed arms that appear to belong to a men she has a porcelain face and is looking down at a sea lion. The seal lion is wearing makeup. The eyes of both sea lion and mannequin are very similar, almost suggesting that the same soul is peering out of them. At the same time the eyes of both subjects appear to be looking at the viewer. Once you start to look at women and then at the seal, you start to wonder many tings. For instance who is superior and because of their confident smiles. Also it stirs up the question of whether they are one and the same; or are they looking at each others self-projected image? But more importantly what does it all mean and why does it matter?

Andrew,
ReplyDeleteThat was a nice description, but i don't understand the message of the Tamar 1930
Looking at the picture I would say it's a very interesting piece. I also would think that, Tamar is conveying the point anything a man is doing she can do it too. Looking on her physique, her mid section it shows that she has the strenght of a man even though she maybe a young and beautiful. Possibly in those days women we probably restricted in certain ways, so this picture tamar is saying i can possible do the same things as a man.
