Black Venus


Niki de Saint Phalle
Black Venus
1965-1967

Black Venus a painted polyester Nana more than 9 feet tall,exibits a sexuality that is both powerful and polyester and buoyantly cheerful .The figure almost busts out of a sort of bathing suit gaily colored in hearts and flowers,ch=lutching a beach ball. (Pagine 432)

When I see this sculpture I see happiness colors. It seems if the woman wanted to play or dance.The woman seems to have a lot of energy. I choose it because it is something funny to see. I like the confidence of this woman who doesn't have a small size,and is not shy to wear a small clothing.:)
