Bernard Safran’s Medea

a tragic image of the American Dream

Authors

Abstract

This article aims to analyze Bernard Safran’s Medeia painting (1964) from two perspectives: the first seeks to trace in Safran’s painting a dialogue with the cultural memory around the images of Medeia, and the second examines the interpretation that Safran’s version addresses a tragic side of the American Dream in relation to what Betty Friedan called “The Problem That Has No Name”.
