Ana Mendieta "Untitled (Glass on Body)", 1972
"When we speak of feminism, it’s important
to know that anytime a woman, especially a beautiful woman uses her body
and distorts it, it is, in essence, a political act. So often women are
the subject of the male gaze, all over art history. That’s what we see –
women as object – and here, Mendieta like many women of her generation
are transposing that relationship to make women a subject of her own
gaze and therefore of our gaze and that it’s a very empowering step."
