Kvinder frem!
View through National Gallery of Denmark
The women in this work are forging ahead, and the sense of a strong, unbreakable fellowship between them makes them appear powerful and possibly threatening to whosoever might stand in their way. The artist has inserted herself in the image with the soldier's cap she wore in the film Three Girls and a Pig, which ends with woman's symbolic emancipation from male sexual dominance as expressed by the castration of a pig. The tripartite work is a monumental portrait of nine women who take on an icon-like status. Together, they represent woman in a time of upheaval, a time of the so-called Redstocking Movement, emancipation, and feminism; all of them movements in which Ursula Reuter Christiansen took part. But why did the artist fire an air rifle against the work?
