"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."
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.
