La mise en avant des sociabilités masculines en milieu artistique
Abstrak
Noting that she was forgotten after the Second World War, Valeska Gert deployed a number of strategies to bring herself to the fore and make her memory known. Written and oral self-narratives played a central role. Male artists were predominant, as the dancer, actress and cabaret performer particularly valued the male gaze and discourse. But this valorization raises questions insofar as Gert relied on male adjuvants – who were also artistic canons – to inscribe herself in memories and history, without commenting on their work. Furthermore, the women artists who actually surrounded her were only peripheral in these narratives, often evoked in a marginal or devaluing manner. If the categories and value systems of art historiography reproduced gender inequalities, partly explaining Gert’s erasure, she herself used the mechanisms of this same unequal system to insert herself into it.
