My Year Book Entry

I transcribed this from my year book circa 1946 in the 80's.  My interests shifted from "boys" and "sobriety" to "female sexual liberation" and "the magic herb".

Sexless Marriage

38" x 46"

1960

This really illustrates my emotional state when I realized I was looking at a basically sexless marriage with a premature ejaculating husband. 

Group Sex

50" x 45"

1973

My personal conflict in group sex - because women were not equal always- interfered with my ability to depict it as a joyful experience.

Self-Portrait in my 80's

With age, you care less and less about what other people think.  By your 80's, you don't give two fucks.

 

 

The Nuclear Family

45" x 56"

1964

The baby is trapped within the mother and father's power struggle. 

Lovers

13" x 10"

1970

This was a sketch for a large canvas that got sold (I don't think I have a photo of it).

Nude Portrait of Romy

colored pencil/pastel

27" x 40"

1969

We were non-monogamous lovers for two years but friends to the end.

Lesbian Lovers

27" x 40"

1967

My feminist fantasy was that love between women would be equal but it turned out that one was more dominant. Or what we today call being a top or a bottom. Equality continues to be some kind of goal or maybe it's just a myth. At best we can simply agree to take turns as to who will run the fuck.

Hysterical Arch

14" x 11"

1969

After Wilhem Reich's concept of the body curling up for orgasm NOT arching back (which cuts off sensation to the genitals), I did this drawing.

Embrace

Romantic love dies hard.
