NANCY SPERO |

 |
After many years of living and working in Paris, Nancy Spero and her husband, Leon Golub, returned to the United States in 1964. Back on her own turf and with the barrage of media coverage, Spero became fully aware of the reality of the Vietnam War and felt the need to respond to it in her work. It was an issue closely related to the victimization of women, which would become a deep concern and the focus of future work. "I started to think about how to address the war. I would do it in such a way as to show the collusion of sex and power, and I would do it in such a way as to shock the viewer. I wanted to be obscene, because the war was obscene"" |
