{"product_id":"judith-bernstein-dicks-of-death","title":"Judith Bernstein – Dicks of Death","description":"\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003eFor over five decades, my most powerful and intense relationship has  been with my work. As a graduate student at Yale in the ‘60s, I began to  use the phallus as a metaphor for feminism and male posturing. At the  time, Yale was an all-male undergraduate program. I became fascinated  with explicit graffiti that I discovered in men’s bathrooms, finding  inspiration in raw humor and unedited scrawls. Aggression and humor are  strongly connected in my work. This is epitomized in my piece  “Supercock” (1966), a drawing of a comic superhero with huge genitals  ejaculating through the world; and in “Fun-Gun” (1967), an anatomical  drawing of a phallus shooting collaged live ammo. My “Fuck Vietnam”  series was just the start. Graffiti influences can be traced throughout  my entire body of work and in my scatological titles such as “Dicks of  Death” (2015). I confront war with very graphic, in-your-face words and  images. Stuffed phalluses, blood and semen juxtapose national imagery  and the US flag. It’s funny – but it’s dead serious!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003eCharcoal is  my favorite medium. Over the span of my career, the experience of  working with charcoal has been extremely dynamic, raw and personal.  There’s a gritty and visceral quality to these political drawings. The  charcoal works represent an amalgamation of anti-war, feminism and  sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003eBeyond these themes, my work delves into the multiple  layers of the human psyche. My art confronts the viewer with the urgency  and complexity of human relationships - issues that perpetually arise  and tension that resonate from our origins to today. \u003cbr\u003e(Judith Bernstein,  New York, 2016)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdition Patrick Frey N° 219\u003cbr\u003e1. edition 2016\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-3-906803-19-7\u003cbr\u003eHardcover, 188 pages, 540 color images\u003cbr\u003e34 × 22.5 cm\u003cbr\u003eArtist: Judith Bernstein\u003cbr\u003eDesigner: Krispin Heé, Malin Gewinner\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edition Patrick Frey","offers":[{"title":"Stück","offer_id":57328016818553,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/4510\/8345\/files\/judith-bernstein-dicks-of-death-art-design-import-809-3890-2.jpg?v=1779712354","url":"https:\/\/saalhof1123.com\/products\/judith-bernstein-dicks-of-death","provider":"SAALHOF 1123","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
