Jolanta Johnsson
Intimacy in Her Body in Black and Red

2023

About the Item

Jolanta Johnsson, experienced Polish artist, graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, PhD of fine arts, university teacher. She currently lives in Sweden. This is how she writes about this piece: "Intimacy, as portrayed in this artwork, encompasses the entirety of the human body which is a visual representation of a person's existence, particularly focusing on the female form. Intimacy acts as a protective barrier for the body, allowing the individual to decide who can breach this barrier and gain access. Certain areas of the body are especially safeguarded, as they serve as gateways into the essence of the human being, both physically and psychologically. It is within these realms that intimacy and eroticism intertwine, creating an enigmatic aura surrounding the human body. Black and red are colours that can be seen as opposing each other. Black absorbs visibility, red draws attention, signals. Black space interspersed with streaks of red signals an ambiguous intimacy definition." The creation of this artwork utilises the monotype technique, a process involving the artist's use of stencils, which are meticulously drawn and cut out. Additionally, a relief print is applied from a linoleum matrix, adding depth and texture to the piece on professional, high quality Fabriano paper. Hand-painted elements further enhance the uniqueness of each work. The term "monotype" signifies the singularity of the artwork, as while multiple copies may exist, each piece is distinct and stands as a one-of-a-kind creation.

Chicago’s early work was Minimalist, and she was part of the landmark Primary Structures exhibition in 1966 at The Jewish Museum in New York. She turned to feminist content in the late 1960s. At this time she changed her last name to Chicago, the location of her birth. Believing in the need for a feminist pedagogy for female art students, Chicago began the first Feminist Art Program at California State University, Fresno, in 1970. The following year, with artist Miriam Schapiro, she co-founded the Feminist Art Program at California Institute of the Arts, Valencia. Womanhouse (1972), a collaborative installation the two artists created with their students, transformed an abandoned building into a house representative of women’s experiences. Chicago is perhaps best known for her iconic The Dinner Party (1974–1979), which celebrates women’s history through place settings designed for 39 important women. The monumental, collaborative project incorporates traditional women’s crafts such as embroidery, needlepoint, and ceramics. Chicago’s work has continued to address themes from women’s lives with The Birth Project (1980–1985) and The Holocaust Project (1985–1993). She is a prolific lecturer and writer, and she has taught at Duke and Indiana Universities and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her numerous awards include grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Getty Foundation and four honorary doctorates. She currently resides with her husband, photographer Donald Woodman, with whom she collaborates on artistic and teaching opportunities. -Courtesy of National Museum of Women in the Arts Judy Chicago is the subject of a one person exhibition at the New Museum in New York, October 2023.
