n her depiction of human desire, Leonor Fini subverts the traditional and patriarchal roles of the painter and the model, challenging gender norms. The gaze she casts upon the male body is that of a woman unafraid to defy convention. These themes are explored in the fifth section through works such as Narcisse incomparable (1971) and Portrait de Nico Papatakis / Nu (1942), whose settings evoke artists like Sandro Botticelli and Piero di Cosimo, reinterpreted through Fini’s ambiguous perspective. Even when depicting a man looking at another man, Fini imbues the image with desire, demonstrating her vision of a “world of undifferentiated or barely differentiated sexes.” The exhibited works reveal boldly queer perspectives and the subversive potential of Fini’s art in her time.
