#BettyTompkins’s recent series isolates apologia (formal defenses of conduct) by men accused of sexual harassment or assault, and superimposes them upon masterworks of the Western canon torn from art history books. In Apologia (Artemisia Gentileschi #4), an excerpt from Knight Landesman’s response to allegations of sexual misconduct—in his role as publisher of Artforum—partially obscures a reproduction of Susanna and the Elders (1610), by the Italian Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi. In 1611, the painter Agostino Tassi raped Gentileschi, and the young artist testified at a highly-publicized trial in 1612. By juxtaposing Landesman’s words with Gentileschi’s painting, which portrays the biblical story in which two male elders attempt to blackmail Susanna into sex, Tompkins alludes to the historical legacy of both the depiction and perpetuation of sexual violence. #HalfthePictureBKM⠀
