Ballade von der Judenhure Marie Sanders, 1991
Color lithograph on Japanese paper

1992-8 ' ; $object_summary = 'For decades Nancy Spero has been exploring the social and political hotbed of gender. She addresses issues of power and the violent impulses that underlie social and cultural archetypes. Here she portrays a victim of war, a figure whom history has tended to exclude. The text in this work is from Bertolt Brecht\'s poem "Ballad of Marie Sanders, the Jew\'s Whore," a tale of a gentile woman who was punished for having had sexual relations with a Jewish man.'; ?>
