In Donna Seduta, Giuseppe Ragazzini’s use of satire and surrealism evokes the spirit of Dada, particularly in his irreverent placement of a classically posed figure on a toilet. Like the Dadaists who challenged societal norms through absurdity, Ragazzini blends high art with the mundane to critique traditional ideals. The fragmented, collage-based figure, with mismatched textures and colors, underscores the Dadaist rejection of conventional beauty, highlighting contradictions in self-perception. The stark black background heightens this irony, amplifying the work’s satirical edge.

Ragazzini’s approach reflects the Dada philosophy of subverting expectations, urging viewers to question societal norms about propriety, beauty, and identity. The collaged, layered composition mirrors the Dadaists' embrace of mixed media and chance, suggesting identity as fragmented and fluid. Through Donna Seduta, Ragazzini critiques cultural ideals, using humor and irony to reveal the often-contradictory nature of self in a modern, image-focused world.
