The Muse’s Revenge, Ilya Milstein

So I’m just going to leave this picture of an old Pablo Picasso here for reference.

[kingohats]

#I recognized the reference but had assumed it was more of a general influence however they used the same molding and everything#I’m sure it’s supposed to be more of a general statement rather than being about any one artist and I’m sad there’s no caption on her site#but Picasso was certainly one of Those Artist Dudes#which is to say he was an abusive douchebag to most of the women in his life (x)

yeah fuck this dude

Not to be dramatic but this is absolutely the right way to deal with creepy old men whose “art” is just pictures of naked women

[charismat1c-megafauna]

By the way if you like cubism but really dont want to look at Picasso, check out Francoise Gilot. She tends to do a lot of really stylized paintings of women but… Yanno. Without the abuse.

She’s also one of Picasso’s exes and consequently one of his muses. She’s spoken at length about her experience. And thus far, she’s had some pretty sweet revenge. She’s free, her artwork is simply gorgeous, and she’s still alive today (as of 2020) at the age of 98!

Edit: i would also like to add that Gilot was already an accomplished artist when she became involved with Picasso, and he completely sabotaged her career when she left him. He discouraged museums from showing her work, and he unsuccessfully tried to block the publication of her memoir, Life with Picasso. To my knowledge, she’s the only one of his “muses” who is still alive, so let’s maybe take this time to explore and celebrate the work of a woman who was overshadowed by her abuser.

rb’ing again to add that Ilya Milstein is currently selling a limited number of prints of the muses revenge (the first piece) and you can buy them here

as soon as a man says female i tune out. fuck you

[silvermoon424]

If anyone is confused, basically, there’s a huge difference between using female as an adjective and using it as a noun. Saying “a female pilot” isn’t weird but just calling a woman “a female” makes many women feel gross. It feels weirdly dehumanizing, especially considering that many men who are guilty of this don’t refer to men as “males” (instead of “men and women” it’s “men and females.”) Just say “woman.” It’s not that hard.

The thing no white ppl seem to understand is that these groups aren’t even the most dangerous aspect. It’s the civilian white people, the suburban/hipster/edgelord/soccer moms that will be empowered to harass people of color.

“Europe is literally the creation of the Third World. The riches which are choking it are those plundered from the underdeveloped peoples. The ports of Holland, the docks of Bordeaux and Liverpool owe their importance to the trade and deportation of millions of slaves. And when we hear the head of a European nation declare with hand on heart that he must come to the aid of the unfortunate people of the underdeveloped world, we do not tremble with gratitude. On the contrary, we say among ourselves, ‘it is just a reparation we are getting.’ So we will not accept aid for the underdeveloped countries as ‘charity.’ Such aid must be considered the final stage of a dual consciousness—the consciousness of the colonized that it is their due and the consciousness of the capitalist powers that effectively they must pay up.”
