Paul McCarthy | Hauser & Wirth

Paul McCarthy has been exploring and reinterpreting the 19th century German folk tale, Schneewittchen, and the 1937 animated Disney adaptation, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, in a variety of mediums.  In 2009, Hauser & Wirth presented a series of McCarthy's drawings based on the "dark psychological and social undercurrents of the original 19th century tale" (from show's press release) and the sanitized, Disney-fied retelling of the 20th century version.  The gallery currently has on view The Dwarves, The Forests, a series of bronze sculptures of disfigured, grotesque dwarves that expands on the artist's examination of the children's stories.  Read More...

A Dignified Ending for an Ugly Story

"On Tuesday, more than a century and a half after her death, in 1860, the woman, Julia Pastrana, will finally be given a proper burial near her birthplace in Sinaloa, Mexico. Her return home from a locked storage room in an Oslo research institute would not have been possible without the nearly decade-long efforts of the New York-based visual artist Laura Anderson Barbata."

CREATURES OF COMFORT

"Inspired by Louise Bourgeois’ rich textures and cagelike prints, designer Jade Lai worked her own comfortable-cool aesthetic into fall’s Creatures of Comfort lineup. There were nubby cotton T-shirts foiled in gold, along with mididresses and boxy separates ribbed or quilted and then layered, all to good effect." See WWD’s full coverage of the Creatures Fall 2013 collection here.

"The 65th anniversary of the D-day landings is an occasion to revisit joyful pictures of the liberation of France in 1944. But among the cheering images there are also shocking ones. These show the fate of women accused of "collaboration horizontale". It is impossible to forget Robert Capa's fallen-Madonna image of a shaven-headed young woman, cradling her baby, implicitly the result of a relationship with a German soldier."

A French woman who conceived a baby with a German soldier, punished by having to have her head shaved as a form of humiliation for her acts. Her mother also was subjected to the punishment - June 1944

Similar but Different: Lily White

The Lily-White Movement was an anti-civil-rights movement within the Republican Party in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The movement was a response to the political and socioeconomic gains made by African-Americans following the Civil War and the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which eliminated slavery. Black leaders gained increasing influence in the party by organizing blacks as an important voting bloc. Conservative white groups attempted to eliminate this influence and recover white voters who had defected to the Democratic Party.
The term Lily-White Movement is generally attributed to Texas Republican leader Norris Wright Cuney who used the term in an 1888 Republican convention to describe efforts by white conservatives to oust blacks from positions of Texas party leadership and incite riots to divide the party.^[1] The term came to be used nationally to describe this ongoing movement as it further developed in the early 20th century.^[2] Localized movements began immediately after the war but by the beginning of the 20th century the effort had become national.
According to author and professor Michael K. Fauntroy,

"The lily white movement is one of the darkest and underexamined eras of US Republicanism."^[3]

This movement is largely credited with driving blacks out of the Republican party during the early 20th century, setting the stage for their eventual support of the Democrats. via: Wikapedia

LILY WHITE, TEXAS on the other hand was a black community on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas line and Post Oak Road, near the site of what is now Hedwig Village in west central Harris County. At one time the rural community had a church, a school, a cemetery, and scattered dwellings.
