Eunice Golden, who passed away on April 3 at 98, was a pioneering artist whose bold male nude paintings challenged conventional ideas about feminism, art, and sexuality. Starting in the 1960s as a suburban housewife, she used her art to express her feelings as a woman, creating pieces that uniquely focused on male anatomy rather than traditional female nudes. Despite the tensions she faced personally and politically, her work ultimately offered a fresh perspective, gaining recognition only later in her life with a recent retrospective at the Duane Thomas gallery.
Her early work was distinct due to its singular focus on the male anatomy, providing imagery that explored her feelings as a woman and artist.
She rendered genitalia and limbs as landscapes with strong brushwork, while her nudes, often featuring erect penises, deviated from conventional male portraiture.
