Margherita Manzelli: Le Signorine

By Margherita Manzelli

In classical poses against eerie, textile-inspired backgrounds, Manzelli's androgynous signorine reflect her long-standing investigation into the female figure

Through a rich iconography of performative poses and psychological intensity, Italian artist Margherita Manzelli (born 1968) challenges dominant portrayals of femininity in art history. Le Signorine showcases her paintings and drawings of the fragile yet resolute presences that have populated her visual imagination since the early 1990s.
