I had never noticed that detail before--totally empowering in a way--as if "I have NO feeling for you as I wipe you away."Donahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565643754344525507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2238586765920862348.post-57319485698372707632009-09-21T07:24:47.570-07:002009-09-21T07:24:47.570-07:00Bowler300

But I do agree I think she painted this pictured to let out her hatred for men and how they publicly humiliated her when she went to trial.smithsonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04486341788525694205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2238586765920862348.post-54959748465980223032009-09-21T07:21:41.039-07:002009-09-21T07:21:41.039-07:00I think this painting is not to show feminist beli...I think this painting is not to show feminist beliefs but to show the painters hatred for men. She was raped and a lot of women that get raped hate men after it. I think she chose to paint these two women beheading Holofernes to let out her hatred for men.Bowler300https://www.blogger.com/profile/14538112628805360798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2238586765920862348.post-36742605905960608162009-09-21T07:11:30.744-07:002009-09-21T07:11:30.744-07:00I agree with Jbeck one of the first things I notic...I agree with Jbeck one of the first things I noticed about this painting was there was no expressions on the womens faces.

To show dominace over men, I don't think women need to cut their heads off. To me, this portait shows two cold-blooded killers that, judging by their faces, have no remorse for being such. I think if the gender roles were switched and it was two men cutting off a woman's head, this painting would be a lot more controversialJbeck891https://www.blogger.com/profile/04728231286640609767noreply@blogger.com
