A handsome and hefty clothbound compendium of Lozano‿s explorations of gender through drawingThis 640-page volume comprises drawings from a critical six-year period in the development of American painter and conceptual artist Lee Lozano‿s (1930-99) practice. Her daring, facetious sketches investigate issues of gender and the body through the erogenous anthropomorphization of tools. Lee Lozano: Drawings 1958-64 includes two newly commissioned essays by Helen Molesworth and Tamar Garb. “What I love about Lozano‿besides the crazy, ham-fisted quality of her drawn line, pictures made with pencils that appear to have been held with a fist‿is how her demonstration of the word 'connection' is not bound to any of the anodyne ways we currently use it, � writes Molesworth. “There‿s nothing about 'listening' or 'building community' or 'empathy' in any of these drawings. For Lozano, connection is fraught and hairy. Connection is dangerous.�
