As curator of Women with Fish, I’ve noticed some unexpected patterns. A recurring theme is women with fish on their heads. I wondered why that might be. Women in many countries traditionally carry baskets of food on their heads, for transport, but these fish are not in baskets. They serve as hats, or possibly decoration. I like the feel of it. I guess a lot of people sense that it’s right. But why?

I don’t know but the idea, and the painting, are hilarious so – just to make us laugh?
kduchene,
I don’t know. They are funny, but the photos or paintings also caring a real sense of importance to them. Strano.
True. Sustanence and sensuality. Christianity and patrimony. Irreverence and and subversion. And this woman as she emerges from the water can’t believe that, again, another fish on her head! Who is the artist?
Oh, John Bellany. Lovely.
