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.

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." Read More...

"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."

“The human being is this night, this
empty nothing, that contains everything in its simplicity- an unending wealth
of presentations, images…Here shoots out a bloody head, there a white shape…
One catches sight of this night when one looks human beings in the eye.”

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,
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.

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