Dorothee Golz, Madonna mit den weißen Federn [Madonna with the White Feathers], 2011

Kollitsch Collection

The Madonna's is directed downwards, her head inclined, her posture graceful. However, the delicate hands do not tenderly hold the baby Jesus, but rest against a designer dress. The contrast between the fashionable clothing and the symbolism of the Madonna draws attention to the role of women in society, a topic which the artist explores in her digital paintings.

The historically influenced view of the role of women and the present-day depiction of women in women's magazines inspire Dorothee Golz to play with contemporary clichés. In this work, the artist depicts a young lady from the 15th century wearing a sophisticated mini-dress and valuable accessories against a rustic background.  The proud, inflexible gaze of this fine figure rises symbolically above all the time traveller's compulsions.
