Description
In this print, Marisol juxtaposed negative and positive space to create perceptual reversals that are especially poignant when one discovers that the shapes are the artist's face and hands. In Marisol's work throughout the 1960s and 1970s, hands and fingers recur as signifiers of autoerotic content.
