Answer to Question 1

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Shigeyuki Kihara superimposes her face onto the male figure, doubling the use of her face for the female character in Ulugali'i Samoa: Samoan Couple.
2. Two identities merge into a single shape (artist's body plus dagger) in Ana Mendieta's Untitled, both representing the artist's life.
3. The arms and hands of a female model are superimposed on the cross-dressed male subject in Marcel Duchamp as Rrose Slavy.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Typical expressions of competition and aggression project male identity without visual representations other than words in Win
2. The female model's name in Manet's title for Mademoiselle V . . . in the Costume of an Espada confuses the visualization of a male bullfighter.
3. Man Ray's dual-gender portrait underlines in words its subject, Marcel Duchamp as Rrose Slavy.
