Male Nudes: A Salon from 1800 to 2021
Mendes Wood DM is proud to present the group exhibition Male Nudes: a salon from 1800 to 2021. Intersecting representations of the male nude, the show proposes to reflect on the concepts of copy, imitation, image, time and decline.
These works are presented as constellations of bodies present in art, bringing together, in a reference to the Salon des Refusés of 1787, a representation of the body that evokes a game of imitation inherent to artistic practice, both in its moral aspect and as a language tool, fully exposing the fragilities of the portrayed body, its impossibility, beauty and temporality.
