Writer Ulrike @writearoundtheglobe calls all art lovers to The Walker Art Gallery's exhibition 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘛𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴: 𝘝𝘦𝘭á𝘻𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘻 𝘪𝘯 𝘓𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘱𝘰𝘰𝘭. @nationalgallery

Diego Velázquez's only surviving female nude, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘰𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘝𝘦𝘯𝘶𝘴 ('𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘣𝘺 𝘝𝘦𝘯𝘶𝘴'), is the axis from which the exhibition pivots around, exploring the objectification of women in art. Other accompanying artworks, many of which have been rarely displayed, also add to conversations on gender and the male gaze.

🗓️ Until August 26, 2024, The Walker Art Gallery hosts 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘛𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴: 𝘝𝘦𝘭á𝘻𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘻 𝘪𝘯 𝘓𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘱𝘰𝘰𝘭. Make sure to read our article and explore the gallery's impressive displays or book your ticket!
