Cosmic Red - 2024
Painted to “Piece of My Heart” by the Janis Joplin.
Acrylic on Board
12” x 12” x 1.75”
The song (written by Jerry Ragovoy and Bert Berns) expresses pain and heartbreak, speaking to the complexities of love and relationships. Janis Joplin’s style was raw and emotionally intense, with an uninhibited, rebellious spirit that defied convention. She acted out the desires of thousands of young women to escape the restrictions of middle-class Americans. Her music and stage presence broke with the cliques of the “girl next door,” changing the female stereotype to one of independence and empowerment.
Young women became more outspoken and brave, setting the stage for the sexual revolution.
