BIO & STEPS




Born:  
In 1929 in New York, USA
Studies: 
 Between 1948 and 1950 – Graphic design at the NY Institute of Applied Arts and Sciences
From 1959:
- Worked at an advertising agency
- Worked as a freelance  children’s books illustrator
- Studied in: Art división NY Public Library, and night clases at the City College of New York.
From  1968:
School of the Art Institute of Chicago (1968)

In 1973 she taught at the University of California in San Diego.

1977 she circulated a series of self-published books through the mail, and joined Heresies/A Feminist Journal on Art and Politics

During the decade of the 1990s,:
 She received multiple honors
The College Art Association Distinguished Art Award for Lifetime Achievement, (an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts) at the New School for Social Research/Parsons School of Design.



Nowadays:
         Lives and works in New York, U.S.A.
Themes: 
          She has developed an instantly recognizable style of simplified human forms with bold outlines. Anonymous “everyman” figures, anthropomorphized animals, and half-human/half-creature characters are featured players in the uncanny theater of her work. In her most characteristic work, she combines popular imagery from everyday urban and domestic scenes, sometimes paired with curt texts, to skew otherwise banal images into anxious scenarios infused with a sense of irony and black humor. Strong themes in her work include gender and sexual identity, power struggles both political and personal, and the pernicious role of mass media in desensitizing the public to violence.


Techniques:        
         Painting, sculpture, artist books and films.
First Exhibition:
In 1981 she showed "Applebroog: Silent Stagings", her first exhibition at Ronald Feldman Fine Arts, NY,

In her own words:
“I still feel I’m not really a painter. When I work with canvases, I work with three-dimensional structures. It’s about structures. It’s about stagings. It’s still—it’s always about stagings. No matter what would happen to my hands or the rest of my body, I’d still have my mouth, and I can still plant a pencil in my mouth and work. It’s like anybody that creates: they’re going to find a way to create and it doesn’t matter how. Now that I’ve given you that sermon . . .”
