Gerda Wegener (1886 â" 1940) was a Danish illustrator and painter best known for her erotic works. After moving to Paris in 1912, she became highly successful both as a painter and as illustrator for Vogue, La Vie Parisienne and Fantasio. Her work comes with a sensational backstory: Gerda's husband Einar, also a successful artist, posed as a model for many of her works dressed in women's clothing, and later underwent the world's first sex-change operation. The actress Alicia Vikander won an Oscar for her portrait of Gerda in the recent film adaptation of this story, Tom Hooper's The Danish Girl.
