A Woman in the Shape of a Monster,, (undated)

Lubell 2/13: 103

Brown and black ink drawing (with an attached cutout of a postcard photograph) in the form of an eight-part polyptych very similar to, Lubell 290, titled Medusa, but with fewer images. Both contain the repeated images of the fusion of woman and bird, both have the same writing sample, and both are interested in the presentation, sexual identity, and depiction of women in mythology and classical storytelling. Ink lines are, compared to some other Lubell pieces, somewhat perfunctory and workman-like, with less of an extreme stylistic identity. One block has a colored image cut from some other source and pasted into the space. In another block is written: "A WOMAN IN THE SHAPE OF A MONSTER. A MONSTER IN THE SHAPE OF A WOMAN. THE SKIES ARE FULL OF THEM." Signed Winifred Milius Lubell.
