Urban contemporary art magazine Juxtapoz's November issue is the Robert Williams issue, a big-hitter in the underground comics scene and the magazine's founder. Oh, and he drives feminists up the wall with the way his artwork objectifies women. *NSFW and possibly triggering images after the break.*

Rosler did a web search of women alone in the kitchen, compiling dozens of photographs and grouping them by theme (historical, pregnant, happy/submissive, "ethnic," etc), and includes an essay explaining the connection between women, domesticity, and submissiveness in images.

However, States' interview in The Morning News reveals some contradictions behind his work.

Art and Design post by Annalee Schafranek, July 15, 2009 - 7:53pm; tagged art, Beth Van Hoesen, female artists, Portland Art Museum.

As mentioned in this past Popaganda, I visited the Portland Art Museum this past weekend and completely fell in love with the detailed and often quirky work of Beth Van Hoesen.
