Dreamy deco paintings by Gerda Wegener

 

Gerda Wegener is best known for her erotic art deco prints (and my, how erotic they are) but she also produced some slightly less NSFW works featuring flappers in their natural surroundings – bars, bedrooms, salons…

I just really like them, nothing more to add.

Except – you should read about Gerda and her first husband Einar here. Einar was one of the first people documented to have undertaken male-to-female sexual reassignment, and their life together is pretty interesting.
