Marilyn Minter: All Wet

Text by Jennifer Higgie. Interview by Anya Harrison.

Marilyn Minter: All Wet

New feminist portraiture from Marilyn Minter, in dialogue with ancient Greek art and Impressionism

American visual artist Marilyn Minter (born 1948) has long cultivated a space between the classical and the commercial for her photorealistic paintings and visceral photographs. Minter’s art is characterized by an emphasis on natural textures in all of their extremes—whether that of the turquoise eyeshadow on a young woman’s face or the glittery grit on the underside of a high-heeled shoe. This monograph dedicated to her recent works presents her 2009 film Green Pink Caviar and a dozen monumental paintings as well as the processes behind such works.
In her most recent painting series, Minter is inspired by classical representations of the female bather as an artistic subject from ancient Greece to early Impressionism. She offers a contemporary version of this figure: her female subjects relax and wash themselves in modern showers, their faces and bodies partially obscured by a film of condensation on the glass separating them from the viewer. In some images the women appear as a mere blur behind the glass; in others, the rivulets of water that course down the glass plane reveal enough to identify a face or body part. The effect is a sensuousness that defies the male voyeuristic gaze seen throughout art history.

PRAISE AND REVIEWS

i-D

Sara Rosen

All Wet’ offers a steamy and sensual look at the classic archetype of the female bather in the new millennium. Suggestive, rather than explicit, her evocative images of the female body — as seen through diaphanous and translucent layers that obscure, reveal, and entrance — offer a new way of looking, one that understands mystery is an integral part of power itself.
