Minnie Cunningham - An early Cyber Feminist?
Reading an article in a book about Sickert, I found a description of Victorian music hall artist Minnie Cunningham (painted by Sickert) which sounded like it could have been written about a cyber-feminist woman of our era:
In the 1890s, a woman who was independent, whether actress, music-hall performer or political feminist, was categorised as a New Woman, a stereotype invented, satirised, discussed and ridiculed in the press. Minnie Cunningham was by definition a New Woman. Her earning power, her fanciful dress and make-up, the promise of prefessional success leading to a rich and glamourous lifestyle, all challenged conventional middle-class ideals of femininity. The identifying characteristics of the New Woman were tallness and thinness, a caricature whose origin lay in the reactionalry, pseudo-scientific theory that thinness was caused by genetic deficiency. Thus, lacking the full soft figure of the suposedly 'natural' woman, an unnatural sexuality was ascribed to the New Woman which destroyed her 'natural' biological urge to be a wife, mother and home maker.
Sickert 'Painter-in-Ordinary' to the Music-Hall, Anna Gruetzner Robins in Sickert Paintings
This was as much a caricature of these "New Women" then, as K-Punk's cyper femininist woman (personified in K-Punk by Grace Jones, the women of the photographs of Helmut Newton, and 'sad-eyed shop girls") is a caricature now. Minnie Cunningham said of Sickert's portrait of her, that he'd made her look "too tall and thin".
Truly existing beauty and sexuality is undermined for K-punk (and Helmut Newton), in favour of some additional manufactured ideal of beauty, never achievable in reality - only there for the camera. It is a miserable existence worshiping this unreal woman, when you could be involved in a passionate relationship with a REAL WOMAN. When you find beauty everywhere, life is lots better. I've even seen K-punk himself look beautiful: with bright eyes full of happiness and intelligence. I've never seen Bryan 'foxhunting' Ferry look like this.
