Transgender Art

German Dada and expressionistic artist George Grosz (1893-1959) is known for his caricatures of Berliners during the 1920s. A few of his paintings feature transvestite or transsexual themes. In one of these works, three erect penises jut from the lower belly and groin of a woman who stands, rather awkwardly, her left arm down, her right bent behind her head, with her dress up, over her breasts. The glans of the topmost penis is fully visible; the glans of the second, half-visible; and the glans of the third, invisible inside the foreskin. What significance the painting may have is uncertain, although it is definitely an arresting image. In a similar painting, another woman, her dress hiked up, around her hips, shows off the massive erection that juts from her pubes, just above a vagina-equipped vulva.

Las Vegas' Marquis de Panasewicz paints strong, rather virile, Amazonian women, most of whom are dominant, sexually and otherwise, both over other women and, especially, over men. He is devoted to sadomasochistic bondage and discipline fetish art. In addition to painting in oils, he also draws with pencils and develops computer-generated art. His female figures look like Frank Frazetta's warrior women might look if they were to resort to long-time steroid use and bodybuilding.

Often with cocks erect, male slaves serve their female superiors as if the males were merely beasts of burden, transporting the women in hand-drawn carts or upon their shoulders. The males are subject to castration, which is performed with detached efficiency by a warrior woman wielding a crescent-shaped, serrated blade. As punishment, the males are hung from their fettered wrists and beaten by women armed with whips.

In one of the Marquis' illustrations, a female warrior with a Mohawk hairstyle and a physique resembling that of Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime, stands behind a bent-over male who, half-suspended by his wrists from the ceiling, cords tying off his balls and wound tightly around his erection, which is secured to the floor by a chain attached to his glans, seems to wait, rather uncomfortably, to be sodomized by she thick, decidedly masculine penis, that the Amazon sports as if her virility has burst the boundaries of her femininity, transforming her into a buff transsexual.
