Dressed and Undressed is a thematic exhibition showing people dressed and undressed in art. The terms “dressed” and “undressed” are charged with a diversity of meanings, and this inherent dynamic is the focal point of the exhibition. The exhibition spans five centuries, charting the ideals of physique and style in painting from the 16th to 20th centuries.

A hierarchical division between public and private space was established in the 19th century and still exists today. Many of the gender issues that we grapple with today were also significant for the six artist couples in the exhibition. They had like us trouble in combining their professional and domestic life. The National Museum of Fine Arts wishes with this exhibition to show how pluralistic the art of the period was. The author stresss the importance of domesticity for modernity and discusses the role of the artist with a focus on gender, sexuality, and class. In the exhibition Vaness Bell/Duncan Grant, Margaret Macdonald/Charles Rennie Mackintosh are presented to a Swedish public for the first time, together with four couples from Scandinavia; Anna and Michael Ancher, Oda and Christian Krogh, Carl Larsson, with Sigrid Hjertén/Isaac Grünewald.

This book presents a wealth of research into mankind’s continual inquisitiveness about what the body looks like inside and out, how it functions and malfunctions, how it has been used for different purposes, been the subject of experiments, surgery and recitification of every kind from the past until the present. Ten writers have contributed, each from their own special point of view and detailed study of the subject. The book is divided into themes to shed light on the human body through the anatomical body and the dead body as a source of knowledge about life. It elucidates hermaphroditism and the construction of gender, it focuses on comtemporary use of the body in relation to earlier art and to science today. And it depicts the body as an instrument and subject of research.
