Salom\u00e9 (1909).<\/em><\/p>\n I thought this current thread was finished yesterday but it seems not. Julius Klinger (1876\u20131942) was an Austrian artist and designer whose early work can be found in the first numbers of Jugend<\/em><\/a> magazine. Subsequent work includes a number of erotic illustrations such as top-heavy Salom\u00e9 here, a depiction which startles when you notice she’s carrying a set of severed genitals in place of the more usual human head. Given that many feminist and Freudian art critics tend to see the Salom\u00e9 story as an emasculation metaphor this is perhaps appropriate.<\/p>\n This pair of untitled pieces are from a feature on Klinger’s black-and-white work in #21 of Deutsche Kunst und Dekoration<\/em><\/a> (1907), the entire edition of which can be downloaded here<\/a>. The picture above may be another Salom\u00e9 but is more likely that other decapitating heroine, Judith<\/a>, with the head of Holofernes. The picture below, meanwhile, is entirely mysterious, and another fine addition to the artistic sub-genre of human\/cephalopod encounters. Thanks to billy<\/a> for pointing the way to all of these.<\/p>\n Elsewhere on { feuilleton } Salom\u00e9 (1909). I thought this current thread was finished yesterday but it seems not.
