Copy of Ms. Steinem Photograph

Ms. Steinem Photographed Assemblage Archival Ink on Cotton Rag Paper Prints are signed and numbered on front This is a limited edition of 50 prints at 24" x 20" © Brett Kaufman, '19 www.brettkaufman.com www.instagram.com/brett.kaufman brettnsf@gmail.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6HPU0o0wSE 'My Life on the Road' by Gloria Steinem, was the inspiration for this piece. The original assemblage is made up of 230 hand painted miniature female figures. The signs in their hands are duplicates of actual protest signs used in the 60's and 70's. It seems unreal to me that so many years later, women are still fighting for equal pay in the work place, and the right to control their own bodies. I know many women who have had the unfortunate trauma of needing to terminate their pregnancies. Gloria and those who fought along side her, have my gratitude for giving those women their lives. Back alley abortions and wire hangers are the result of not having a 'choice'. Ms. Steinem is such an inspiration to me, and I hope my piece reflects the gratitude and respect I have for her. ----------------------------------- Brett Kaufman is a San Francisco-based artist whose work is inspired by the numerous biographies he has read over the years. His ongoing series of surrealist portraits has been twenty years in the making. Brett's work is created using one of, or a combination of the following: photography, collage, and assemblage. He often thinks of his work as a puzzle that is put together piece by piece, similar to a mosaic. Each image has a separate story to tell; and likewise, a separate technique involved. Kaufman's work has been presented in museums, galleries, and alternative spaces as varied as San Francisco City Hall, SF Camerawork, Sacramento's Crocker Art Museum, New York's Monique Goldstrom Gallery, The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, and the Rumbach-Synagogue in Budapest, Hungary. In '96 “Ode to Harvey Milk” became the poster and playbill for the San Francisco Opera’s production of “Harvey Milk The Opera”. Brett's imagery, has graced the covers of The SF Bay Guardian, Frontiers Magazine, and over 30 issues of the San Francisco Sentinel. His art has been enthusiastically received over the years, and sits in many prestigious collections, including the Rene de Rosa Foundation in Napa Valley, the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam, and sold through the United States Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C.
