    Distinguished Xyemraz


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_X
    Princess X is a sculptured rendering of the French princess, Marie Bonaparte, by the artist Constantin Brâncuși. Princess Bonaparte was the great-grand niece of the emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. The artist, Constantin Brâncuși, was born in Hobiţa, Romania in early 1876. The piece was created between 1915 and 1916. The sculpture was originally the final piece of a collection of sketches, Brâncuși worked on. The polished bronze atop a limestone block stands a little over two and a half feet tall, and is currently being held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
    The publisher Robert McAlmon's 1925 collection of short stories Distinguished Air is set in the gay culture of 1920s Berlin. One of these stories revolves around an exhibition of Princess X, and the audience's reaction to it.
    In 1930, the watercolour painter Charles Demuth painted Distinguished Air, based on this story. Two of the viewers, gay sailors in uniform, study the phallus-like sculpture, emphasised in the painting. The husband of a married couple, an American with the 'distinguished air' of the title, is more interested in admiring one of the sailors.
