Tompkins is best known for her large-format \u003ci\u003eFuck Paintings\u003c\/i\u003e, a series launched in 1969 depicting close-up sex, the source images of which are taken from pornographic magazines. The series is famous for having been censored many times.\u003cbr\u003eIn this and other series, such as the \u003ci\u003eCunt Paintings\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePussy Paintings\u003c\/i\u003e, Tompkins uses a cold and restricted palette of black, white and gray for the pornographic images that she appropriates. Stylistically close to photorealism, the images are cropped and produced with an airbrush on pastel backgrounds. Sometimes the artist covers up the image with misogynistic texts.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough her paintings were rarely shown, due to their explicit content, Tompkins has influenced a younger generation. Since the 1970s, she has tirelessly questioned what determines the codes of representation of female bodies. This work thus takes on a new dimension within the framework of the recent #MeToo movement.\u003cbr\u003eIn this essential volume, collages and drawings reveal Tompkins' work processes, highlighting her grid work, a major synthesis of minimalism and formalism. Among the works on paper, the 2014 \u003ci\u003ePhoto Drawings\u003c\/i\u003e series is unveiled here for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 104\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 9.53 x 6.61 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 21, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51767410196768,"sku":"9782365680400","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/7d7314df357f975eefa09184eba4800f.webp?v=1780310266","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/betty-tompkins-raw-material-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
