Wilhelm Freddie: Art and the Sexual Revolution
Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Book chapter › Research › peer-review
The Danish surrealist painter Wilhelm Freddie has been seen within Danish art his- tory as an avant-garde artist provocatively and heroically challenging bourgeois sexual norms with his challenging and explicit images. This essay provides a slightly different reading of his work, situating it within a larger cultural and historical framework and discussing it in relation to sexuality, politics and aesthetics in Denmark in the 1930s and the 1960s.
