It’s not explicitly in this documentary, but perhaps something worth asking after watching a film about an artist who experienced fascism first-hand. Would his work, or any work that walks the line the way his does, be tolerated today? The late Susan Sontag challenged him on TV about his assertion that he loved women, suggesting that loving women and being a misogynist were not incompatible.īut perhaps the most intriguing point of view comes from Vogue’s formidable driving force Wintour, who hired him frequently in spite of the controversies. She describes his work as “necessary,” even if it “sometimes upsets people,” and celebrates the role his tough images had in a magazine devoted to beautiful images. She also intriguingly muses about whether his fashion images that veered into S&M were also him expressing anger at women.
