Tara Keny, talking about Marie Laurencin’s print Iphigenie<\/em> (1913\/14), explains that the old Greek tale about why Agamemnon agrees to sacrificing his daughter to Athene and her saving Iphigenie and turning the girl into one of her maids, was reinterpreted by Marie Laurencin ‘as a kind of story of a woman saved by other women in a safe and peaceful place. She [Iphigenie] was also known for her beauty in the tale. So Laurencin is also kind of paying homage to her beauty, and again, she’s depicting Greek stories at a time where she’s going to parties at Natalie Barney’s house where they are re-enacting sapphic poems (…) in this whole world of idealizing that past. So it is not created within within a vacuum at all.’<\/p>\n
