Lilith by Kiki Smith


Kiki Smith's art has become much more well known as of lately (One of her sculptures was even featured in the movie "My super Ex-Girlfriend). A different sculpture is now on display (err, or at least it was on display last summer) at the met. "Lilith" is a life-sized crouching sculpture that is displayed on a wall. Smith's 3d works are usually semi-stylized realism... You can see where she texturized the material, but they still have very human qualities and proportions. She often does a lot of art to raise awareness and funds for charities. (If anyone still has their textbook from Survey of the Visual Arts II, look up her and read her reflection of "Untitled" in chapter 36. Whaaat.)
