Sapphic Art: Women's love and intimacy in the history of art

By Hans-Jürgen Döpp

The poetess Sappho did not, in any way, facilitate the relationship between men and women, with her admirable Ode to Aphrodite which celebrates the love and sexuality between two women. With the liberalization of morals, female homosexuality is part of modern society and cannot be ignored. But what does history retain from these practices? How is the love between women appreciated? By infringing on the rules of past societies, how did these women live their particularity and their forbidden sexuality? This difficult exercise, undertaken by Professor D pp, attempts to explain these censured pleasures, without inclining towards a certain voyeurism.
