Sans perdre sa dignité (1918) by Gerda Wegener High_Heels_Artwork A solitary male figure

A solitary male figure

It’s bold

defiance - into a digital mosaic of power and vulnerability

she lived openly as a lesbian and built beauty on her own terms - floral

inviting celebration of trans and gender non-binary identity

Sans perdre sa dignité (1918) by Gerda Wegener High_Heels_Artwork A solitary male figureSans perdre sa dignit (Without Losing Her Dignity) is Gerda Wegener at her sharpest: a cocktail hour scene where flirtation is currency and composure is the real flex. In crisp black ink, she frames a glamorous little triangle of intrigue, champagne coupes on the table, pearls and plumes in the air, and one woman serving pure I know exactly what Im doing energy. This illustration comes from LAbdication de Ris Orangis, a French romance by Lo Larguier,
