everything our parents said was good is bad.

Crucifixion, Niki de Saint Phalle, 1965

From the Pompidou Museum, Paris: “Designed to be hung from the ceiling, this giant and weirdly proportioned doll, decked out in suspender belt and curlers like some grotesque emblem of femininity, is one of art’s most virulent and sarcastic commentaries on the female condition. Exposed in the crudest and most obscene nudity, crucified in its sexual identity, this archetypal figure is a vehement critique of the conventional representation of women.”
