X-radiograph(s) of "Mrs Simpson" 

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of "Mrs. Simpson" by Joseph Blackburn. The ghostly image almost obscures her figure. What can we learn from this particular view? Curator: The x-ray unveils not just the material composition but also hints at the social and economic structures that shaped Mrs. Simpson’s identity and Blackburn’s practice. What layers of power are invisible to the naked eye, yet present in this portrait? Editor: So the x-ray reveals the hidden dimensions of art and society? Curator: Precisely. By analyzing the material and historical contexts, we can uncover the narratives embedded within the artwork. Editor: That's a new way of thinking about x-rays. Thanks! Curator: My pleasure.
