ok, ok! By popular unacclaim, I will begin a search for my new avatar, hehehehe. It all started with "Steve" who posted in Lola's Salon and perhaps really with blatham, too, there. There ensued a lively and opinionated response to 'works of art' posted by each. Since there were several references to ****, I knew that was the time to put in the avatar I made from an image of art by Lynda Bengalis, a famed feminist artist of the US since the early 70's.

(LOL, could NOT resist! I've been waiting to post my new avatar for a week now, for fun! It is by Lynda Bengalis, at the Ft. Worth Museum of Modern Art - and very cool!)
(Lynda Bengalis artwork: Wing, 1970, and Poured, 1970)
An excellent article about her work, with many images (rated R for one item, so forewarned - ok?)
Lynda Benglis show "Soft Off"
Quote:Lynda Benglis, "Soft Off," Apr. 18-May 31, 2002, at Locks Gallery, 600 Washington Square South, Philadelphia, Pa. 19106
For more than 30 years, Lynda Benglis has been pouring, knotting and spraying materials to make forms that ooze and coagulate, billow and swoop. Meditations on nature and the body, the works can be gorgeous or scary. And with their hands-on physicality, body references and androgynous edge, the pieces presage the work of a younger generation of artists [think of Robert Gober and Kiki Smith].
), that's all ... Is it a painting of yours, maybe?
