Lunch in the Grass

Presented at the hall of the rejected in 1863, Lunch on the Grass by Édouard Manet bewildered many judgments of his time. In 2013, Gurcius Gewdner refiled the work. In the image, while the gentlemen are talking to each other and a kind of nymph is bathing behind the group, a naked woman looks at the viewer with a questioning look. A female figure who is neither placid nor modest, nor cornered and sustains a question in her eyes. Through the body, for unexpected carnal reasons and for the Dionysian celebration of a joyful existence, the individual deviates from his condition as a flock. Bewildered sheep that can then find a new north, which is delight and question, surface and mystery, beauty and strangeness.

Two sculptures in the Americas produce the global colonial imagery: the neoclassical Statue of Liberty, in New York, and the art décor Christ the Redeemer, in Rio de Janeiro. Both counted on French intervention and they operate in the frequency that Walter Benjamin describes as being "the story of the conquerors". Monuments which reframe the invasion and conquest in the spatial imagination, guaranteeing the temporal continuum and structuring the expansion of the integrated systems of global capitalism.
