Label TextJoan Snyder’s pioneering style in the 1970s infused emotional abstraction with imagery and text, an approach understood today as Neo-Expressionism. Snyder’s feminist impulse manifests in her images of the female body and references to ancient sources such as the Venus of Willendorf and the Hindu goddess, Kali, both seen in this print.
