Gerda Wegener

I ADORE this kind of art. I’ve a “few” original La Vie Parisienne magazines. And other original ’20’s French magazines and pictures.

BUT – I never knew the story behind these delightful works of art until I watched this by Oddie.

P.S. I’ve not seen the film!

 

The Danish Girl tells the story of the painter Einar Wegener, who had the world’s first gender-reassignment surgery and became Lili Elbe. But his wife Gerda had a fascinating life and career of her own.
