During this time period, artists also began to incorporate commercialized images into their work, using their ubiquity in order to communicate a message. An example of this can be seen through artist Julia Watchel’s work, specifically her painting entitled “Love Thing”.
“The greeting cards expressed ideas that often carried racist, sexist, and classist messages. I put a spotlight on how these images, which might usually be taken for granted, are not natural,” Watchel said. “By putting the two images of the objectified women next to each other, I was attempting to show how we are positioned as voyeurs to these images and perhaps become inconspicuously complicit in our gaze.”
