Freud's Beard

1993

 

"Two general trends emerge with particular vitality. The first of these involves artists who approach representation as a political tool for grappling with notions of social and cultural identity... most humorous, Margaret Morgan's self-explanatory Portrait of Sigmund Freud as Feminine Sexuality... the inclusion of these works reminds us that the legacy of Western realism — defined largely by the efforts of white men — is still filled with one-sided viewpoints and unchallenged assumptions."
