Many Surrealists did reduce women to their body parts, often using mannikins. I think Hans Bellmer is the worst in this respect. I find him incredibly offensive.

My goal is to do three or four more "lectures" in the next two weeks: American Modernism (O'Keeffe, Dove, Hartley); Abstract Expressionism (Pollock, Rothko etc.); Pop and Minimalism; Postmodernism (if time).
Then I'm going on a long trip, with questionable internet connections. But when I return, I would love to get requests for any other periods about which anyone would like to learn.
I should probably do a Liz-like "test" before I go, though....
