While centrist politicians struggle to protest that the large majority of Muslims abhor the attacks, the fear of violence has made the National Front's Marine Le Pen one of the most popular politicians in France and pushed the socialist government into endorsing ridiculous bans on "burkinis" - full body coverings for Muslim women bathers - bizarrely condemned as "provocative" by former President Nicolas Sarkozy.

His work on display here, "Big Bathers, Another Judgment" (1984), is a parody of the Judgment of Paris, with a multiracial cast of characters — fleshy, awkward, but defiantly beautiful nudes, with skin tones ranging from juicy pink to syrupy umber — surrounded by a tranquil but turbulently colored landscape: magenta clouds, cobalt blue sky, violet shoreline, and a gray-green body of water that looks like an acid bath.

Whether or not the viewer knows it, the Middle Passage exists in "Two Trees," along with Rousseau's "The Sleeping Gypsy" and the prison island of Carrera, just as full-length male bathers by Cézanne and Marsden Hartley are present in Doig's "Red Man"—not visibly, but through ambiguous narratives that are drenched in art history and in a sense of where we are in the world right now.

In the living room, a black-and-white photograph of two nude bathers by the turn-of-the-century German artist Wilhelm von Gloeden, purchased in Berlin, hangs above a latticed ebonized wood daybed by the American Art Deco designer Donald Deskey; in the opposite corner, a life-size ceramic cat from a market in Istanbul stretches on a delicate turned-leg walnut end table from the 19th-century Aesthetic Movement.

In Paris, there are options at both ends of the spectrum — from the more traditional Grand Mosquée (39 Rue Geoffroy-Saint-Hilaire, 75005) with its multigenerational bathers catching up on gossip as they sprawl across the ornate tiles, to the chic steam room in the Charme d'Orient (18 Boulevard du Temple, 75011), on the edge of the Marais, which can be privatized for the more prudish among us.

As did the confusion of a collection that added many pointless flaps and straps to otherwise elegant tailoring, mixed an old newspaper comic strip ("Little Nemo in Slumberland," from 1905) with pajama suiting (for men) and Fortuny pleats (for women), threw in some gingham and potholder weaves, an old Lanvin cartoon print that apparently depicted bathers but looked like an unexpected takeoff on a Kama Sutra plate, hairy sneakers and metallic "Pharoah Loafers" (don't ask), and then culminated in lovely short Grecian gowns, glimmering with gold.

Befriending activists, including Abby Hills Price and Paulina Wright Davis at the very start of the women rights movement, Whitman also wrote poems that honored women's central role in the establishment of a democratic society and demonstrated that the female body — and even female desire — are fitting subjects for poetry (consider the enduring shock value of "Unfolded Out of the Folds," an extended meditation on the physicality of birth and sex, and the "28 Bathers" passage of "Song of Myself," in which one woman fantasizes about not one but 28 potential partners).

Large refugee flows resulting from war, famine and climate, remain a hot topic for all countries, including the U.S., at a time when the world is facing the largest refugee crisis since World War II. On the campaign trail Macron talked about more effective policing of immigration, important to Europe as a whole because of open borders within the EU. Le Pen talked about banning Muslims from entering France, "France is about Bardot, not burkinis," Le Pen said, referring to the famous actress and the confrontation between police and Muslim bathers this past summer.
