M. Bottier-Damars (1918) by Gerda Wegener Style:Wood frame is designed for those whoM. Bottier Damars (1918) is Gerda Wegener at her sharpest: an oval vignette of nightlife polish, where a perfectly styled figure toys with a hat like its a prop and a shield at once. Made as an illustration for Lo Larguiers novel LAbdication de Ris Orangis, it turns respectable society into theatre, and desire into a social performance. In Wegeners world, gender is styling, power is posture, and the gaze is always part of the plot.
