Description

Segment one of this program examines the unidealized human form with Lucian Freud's nude Standing by the Rags, Arman's mixed-media sculpture Condition of Women I, and John Coplans' nude Frieze No. 2, 4 Panels. Segment two grapples with physical abuse and racial and sexual stereotyping through Nan Goldin's Nan One Month after Being Battered, Sonia Boyce's From Tarzan to Rambo Etc., and Sarah Lucas' Self-Portrait with Knickers and Self-Portrait with Fried Eggs. Segment three seeks to understand issues of identity and to discern the roots of cruelty with Louise Bourgeois' Cell (Eyes and Mirrors) and Annette Messager's The Pikes.
