@ARTICLE{Lillington_David_“Dance_2018, author={Lillington, David}, number={No 2}, journal={Kwartalnik Neofilologiczny}, howpublished={online}, year={2018}, publisher={Wydział I Nauk Humanistycznych i Społecznych PAN i Uniwersytet Warszawski}, abstract={This article looks at the allusions made by Austrian artists Birgit Jürgenssen and Assunta Abdel Azim Mohamed to the historical genres “Dance of Death” and “Death and the Maiden”. I examine in particular Jürgenssen’s series “Totentanz mit Mädchen” and “Untitled Polaroids” (also known as the “Death and the Maiden” polaroids). I raise the significance of her titles and argue that she is dancing with the genre, in effect with art history itself. Then I consider Mohamed, 43 years Jürgenssen’s junior. I propose her as an heir of Jürgenssen. I argue that one of the reasons both artists allude to the two traditional genres is in order for the work to address the nature of art itself.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={“Dance of Death with Maiden”: The Visual Grammar of the Death and the Maiden Motif: Birgit Jürgenssen and Assunta Abdel Azim Mohamed}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/107328/PDF/KN%202-18%207-D.Lillington.pdf}, keywords={"Dance of Death", "Death and the Maiden", Birgit Jürgenssen, Assunta Abdel Azim Mohamed, art-photography}, }
