I found this picture on a site called artwomen.org. Again, my initial response was one of not being very attracted to the piece, in the sense that I didn't like it. It's another odd one for me. I didn't really understand it at first. On another site, it said that Barbara Graf(the artist of the piece) is a feminist artist and that "Barbara expresses that her work is based on the dissection of the human body as a shell that is filled with emptiness." Well, that sounds a bit depressing, but it makes it more understandable to me. The piece does have a shell look to it, because of it's color.
Again, not my favorite piece but art is subjective.
