The Art of the Human Body

Taught in the well known institution Rutgers University, as well as revealing her creativity through forms of film, photography, and painting, contemporary artist Carolee Schneemann's general focus in her work are erotic, gender, or on the human body. While currently working in art media, she originally started her career by being a painter. While her first well known piece of art is not being a painting, it is actually a photo of herself surrounded with various material and life, known as Eye Body: 36 Transformative Actions. Through the course of her career, she adopted the idea of feminism and incorporated it in her work, such as her erotic film known as Fuse, where the male and female are equal, not one higher than the other. She incorporates herself in her work to distinguish the creativity women have in art that seems to be unnoticed.
