• Resumen

  • The article features the two portrait paintings "Johanna," the teenage daughter of a German industrialist, which were created by the Swiss artist Franz Gertsch in 1983-1984 and in 1986. The paintings were described as akin to passport photographs with a tinge of airbrushed design and influenced by Renaissance aesthetics. The use of young girl as a subject in art provides a representation of power, sexuality and an embodied of capitalism.
