The pavilion will be concentrated in Tia’s Rape Europa (1559–62), depicting the attack on Europa by the god Jupiter, where Jupiter is disguised as a bull. Europa’s Rape Very few borrowing.
Yarvin tells Vanity FairNate Freeman. “For example, we could hire someone to fake it and burn it. Or we could use AI somehow, which would do some creativity. But ideally, the real thing is there.” With Titian’s other works would be other works by artists talking about similar topics, which means the pavilion will essentially be “rape as the theme,” as Yarvin puts it, pointing out that “there is obviously room for feminist voices here.”
The final decision on the American Pavilion will not be made until later in the summer.
