Margaret talbot on jocelyn lee’s photos of older women and how they fight the invisibility and erasure that occur as women age. Marna clarke is a photographer What makes these photographs radical to some, however, is that marna is 74 years old. Explore sensual and tasteful content featuring older women in nude, showcasing natural beauty, confidence, and elegance In a new show of paintings called stark realism, dutch artist francien krieg portrays elderly women as unyielding and complete nudes. There is strong evidence that older women are sexually active, maintain active sexual relationships, and express satisfaction with their sex lives
A new exhibition aims to turn that on its head. These nude photographs showcase a couple in their seventies who have been together for more than 20 years. As beall says, showing pictures of older bodies is revolutionary—especially the bodies of older women who are naked and proud “photographing elder men is more acceptable—leathery is ok,” she says.
