Exploring the Social and Historical Context behind ‘Trop honnête pour être polie

Understanding the historical and social context in which a work of art was created can enrich its meaning and appreciation. Therefore, I would like to discuss the historical and social context that influenced the creation of “Trop honnête pour être polie.”

Politeness can be beneficial when it regulates mutual respect between individuals. However, when politeness becomes an obstacle to the satisfaction of our own vital needs, it becomes a weapon of choice for malicious individuals.

With “Trop honnête pour être polie,” I wanted to criticize the social pressures exerted on women to always be polite and accommodating, even in situations where it is not necessary. Women are often encouraged to be pleasant and not cause waves, even if it means not expressing their opinions or desires. This pressure can have negative consequences on their mental and emotional well-being, as well as their ability to assert themselves in different aspects of their lives.

In summary, “Trop honnête pour être polie” is a work that is part of the feminist movement and current debates on gender equality. It was born from my reflection on the social pressures exerted on women and my desire to stimulate a discussion on these important issues.

Message of the artwork

With “Too Honest to be Polite,” I wanted to convey a strong message about the importance of honesty and freedom of expression. I believe that honest communication is essential for establishing healthy and respectful relationships, both with oneself and with others. However, social and cultural norms can often discourage this honest communication, especially for women who are often encouraged to be polite and reserved.

With this artwork, I want to encourage women to speak freely and honestly, even if it may be difficult or uncomfortable. I also want to raise awareness about the importance of respecting the opinions and needs of others, even if they do not agree with them. Ultimately, I believe that “Too Honest to be Polite” is an artwork that can inspire meaningful discussions about communication, honesty, and gender equality.
