Austrian born Hans Bauer's work is highly informed by the outspoken feminist writer Camille Paglia's clear distinction between the Vegetable and Crystalline Aphrodite, the very real difference between "female" and "feminine" archetypes. Bauer's darkly vivid and highly posed images ensconced in ornate Baroque frames have the look of 19th century high academic painting and remind us of a recently discovered, "old school" collection found in a European museum.
