No fur.

No claws.

No bright feathers nor exotic pelts.

Introducing… Venus Vocalized

Small “Venus” statuettes have been found throughout Europe, in places like Willendorf, Austria. These relatively minute figures are known for their more than ample breasts and fecund-looking tummies. These wee stone women are some of the first anthropomorphic statues representing the female form. These “art historical Eves” have always been favorites of mine, and I could think of no better mascot for VV.

Warhol, Andy. Jackie. 1968. Acrylic and silkscreen on canvas.

 

Photographer. Philanthropist. Editor.

 1 in 3 women 

35%– according to the World Health Organization (WHO) that is the percentage of women worldwide who have experienced  “either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime.”

Dude Looks Like A Lady

“Beware of her fair hair, for she excels
All women in the magic of her locks;
And when she winds them round a young man’s neck,
She will not ever set him free again.”

-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
