Woman Landing on Man in the Moon
1971
With an irreverent humor, Shapiro takes on the facts of life - in 1971, gender prejudice was acutely felt by women from all backgrounds. Like other artists of her generation, Shapiro puts the body front and center. Her gender-bending drawings defy norms and conventions and question the existing limitations.
