Hannah Gadsby's art exhibition is roasted by art critics

Australian feminist comedian has been roasted by art critics after launching her ‘It’s Pablo-matic: Picasso According to Hannah Gadsby’ exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum in New York City.

The art show features more than 100 works, including pieces by Picasso and newest news by modern female artists, as well as audio descriptions by Gadsby herself.

An official press release says the exhibition ‘reckons with complex questions around misogyny, creativity, the art-historical canon, and “genius”‘. 

A promo video shows Gadsby strolling through the museum as she refers to Picasso as a ‘misogynist’ whose life needs to be viewed through the fresh lens of feminism. 

However, the exhibition has left many unimpressed with critic Jason Farago writing: ‘The ambitions here are at GIF level, though perhaps that’s the point.’

Farago also criticised the variety of artists displayed, adding: ‘The female artists featured do not include female Cubists, women inspired by Picasso, or the female artists Picasso was actually involved with in his life.’

In a resurfaced Tweet from 2018, Gadsby labelled Humphries as ‘irrelevant and inhumane’ as she criticised his comedy act.

‘Barry Humphries loves those who hold power, hates vulnerable minorities and has completely lost the ability to read the room,’ she wrote.

‘That’s not a comedian, that’s an irrelevant, inhumane d**k biscuit of the highest order.’

Following news of Humphries’ death in April, media insider Peter Ford reposted the historic Tweet and hit back: ‘Comedy is subjective.We don’t all find the same things funny.’

‘Hannah is entitled to her opinion. However my view is that I understand Hannah identifies as being funny but Barry actually WAS funny. I hope she feels proud the charge she lead against a then 84 year old man.’
