Introduction
Dorothy Iannone

IANNONE’S FEMINISM HAS ALWAYS BEEN NUANCED; NOT FOR HER THE SEPARATISM OF 1970S RADICALISM. HER ART IS MORE CHILDLIKE AND INNOCENT THAN STRIDENT. AND IANNONE OBVIOUSLY LIKES MEN. “YOU WILL NOT BE VANQUISHED ALTHOUGH YOU ARE A MAN,” READS ONE OF MANY ANNOTATIONS THAT LITTER HER WORK. “CENTURIES OF GAZING AT YOUR FRAGILITY HAVE AUGMENTED MY LOVE FOR YOUR SEX.”

Dorothy Iannone (b. 1933 Boston, US – d. 2022 in Berlin, Germany) is best known for her vivid and energetic paintings, drawings, prints, videos, and objects portraying female and male figures in situations of physical union and ecstasy, which she has been making since the 1960’s. In Iannone’s world there are no rules, limits or sense of time. With her continuous fight for freedom and her challenges to contemporary culture and censorship, Iannone offers us a vision of feminine sexuality which is not repressed or exploited, but radiantly alive.
