Lynda Benglis



I know that this picture is totally graphic and disturbing but I think it shows so much of what Lynda is as an artist. She is a total feminist. She is playing off of the idea that Sigmond Freud created. Lynda believes so much of art is ran by "male ethos." This picture is just poking fun at that. She is against pin up models and hollywood. This picture was taken of her in 1974.
The picture up top however is a sculpture she did that is made from gold leaf and essentially plaster. This sculpture is supposed to express sensuality. I don't know how I feel about this woman as an artist. I think she is a little obnoxious.
