Art/Literary
Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
A newspaper article from the 1890s quoted by an Argentine art historian in an article about a controversy in a Buenos Aires art salon: a woman painter was asked to remove her nude pastel, whereas a male artist was not asked to remove his nude of a penitent Magdalene:
Ahora bien, en esa exposición hubo otros desnudos femeninos, contra los cuales no hubo objeciones de las Damas del Carmen. Un artículo en El Nacional observaba precisamente esto, señalando que una Magdalena arrepentida que llevaba la firma del pintor francés Feyen Perrin era “una Magdalena de boulevard [...] que tiene de todo menos de arrepentida”
Street-walking Magdalene??
