| Description |
Depicted with flowing abstract lines, unusual
proportions, and a minimum of detail, this
ancient woman is not beatiful in the conventional
sense. Her appeal, however, is very strong,
radiating the power of the eternally feminine.
Like the stone age Venuses of Europe, and the
Astarte figures of Babylon, she offers the
promise of fertility and eternal rebirth. The very
survival of the human race seems to depend on
her unabashed, unblushing sexuality.
