My Heroine and Her Mate

Those who have associated the work of artist Dorothy Iannone (*1933 in Boston) with a graphic, figural, genital, and declarative liberation of the male and female erotic nude might well be surprised by this exhibition of her early oil paintings. The seven canvases presented here do not quite conform to what has become Iannone’s signature style: vibrant, anatomical, planar, illustrative, outspoken, and shot through with explicit eroticism.
