Description
The Sunlit Pool of the Finished Image by David Hill
This novel reimagines Gustave Courbet's infamous painting L'Origine du Monde, giving it a voice and exploring its experiences as a woman under the male gaze. From its creation in 1866 to the present day, the painting recounts its journey through revolutionary Paris, Nazi-controlled Budapest, and the birth of French psychoanalysis.
Through the voices of women who were exploited as models and objects, Hill sheds new light on how we perceive images that have been canonized as unimpeachable. This thought-provoking novel offers a fresh perspective on the power of art and its impact on society.
