Davida and Mate, Corinne Possibly 1980 - 1989

"Davida and Mate, Corinne" is a color photograph by Mariette Pathy Allen, taken sometime between 1980 and 1989. The image depicts two individuals in a posed portrait. The figure on the left is dressed in a floral dress, with bright red lipstick and long, curly hair. The figure on the right is wearing a black and white polka dot blouse with a red scarf and a black skirt, and appears to have her arm around the other figure's waist. The couple is standing in a garden setting. Allen's work is known for its exploration of gender and identity, and this photograph appears to explore these themes in a direct and confrontational way.
