"From Gas Masks to Lipstick: A Journey of Putting On" In this captivating collection of images, we witness the diverse acts of "putting on" that span across time and cultures. British schoolchildren during World War II diligently practice putting on their gas masks, a haunting reminder of the turbulent years from 1939-1945. Meanwhile, in a burst of color, semi-naked women delicately apply lipstick, showcasing an intimate moment frozen in litho prints. The sensuality continues as another woman elegantly slips into white stockings, her grace immortalized on canvas in 1861. Moving forward through time and artistry, we encounter a dancer meticulously fastening her shoe with pastel strokes capturing every delicate movement. In contrast to these graceful scenes, a man doffs his boater hat captured by the lens of Animal Locomotion photography; his action speaks volumes about manners and social etiquette prevalent in 1887. The enchantment deepens as we explore further moments frozen in time - a woman attaching her engagement ring with anticipation and joy depicted skillfully on canvas in 1898. And once again, we find ourselves witnessing the act of doffing one's boater hat through Eadweard Muybridge's photographic lens - this time featuring an anonymous man caught mid-gesture. Finally, our journey concludes with Goldie Hawn at London Heathrow Airport in 1970; an American actress embracing the glamourous world she puts on for adoring fans worldwide. Through these captivating glimpses into history and human expression, "Putting On" reveals that whether it be protective gear or personal adornments – from wartime necessities to everyday rituals – there is power and significance behind each act performed before stepping out into the world.
