Is a Nude Painting of a Woman Still Erotic If She Looks Back?

I'm sharing this video I watched today about the Swiss artist Miriam Cahn. It's about 10 minutes long but totally worth the watch. She's not an artist I knew of before, and I'm delighted to have found her.

She's a feminist artist, she's fiercely political, and she tackles taboo subjects head-on. The role of the artist for her is to express things that people are afraid to say, or won't say, and to expose the lies that circulate in democracies.

Her work isn't easy to look at and it's not beautiful (for me anyway). But it communicates something real.
