I'm blown away by Joan Semmel's dedication to feminism and art At 93 years old, she's still pushing boundaries and challenging societal norms. Her unapologetic works are a testament to her strength and courage. I love how she's taken control of her own career and refused to be silenced, just like she did back in the day when she rented a space on Prince Street to showcase her work It's inspiring to see someone who has spent their life empowering women through art. Semmel is truly a trailblazer and an icon for generations to come

I'm so inspired by Joan Semmel's determination ! At 93 years old, she's still creating art that challenges societal norms and pushes boundaries. I love how she took matters into her own hands back in the day by renting a space on Prince Street to mount her first solo show - talk about taking control of your own destiny !

I think what I admire most about Semmel is how unapologetic she's been about exploring themes of nudity and sexuality from a woman's perspective. Her self-portraits are truly iconic and have become landmarks in the art world .

It's amazing to see her work associated with key figures of the feminist movement, celebrating women's bodies and challenging societal norms. Semmel's art has always been about empowering herself and others, which is something we could all learn from .

I'm also loving how she's continued to create works that are as confrontational as ever - like her latest piece "Skin in the Game" . At 93 years old, it's clear that Semmel's art is still making waves and inspiring new generations of artists and feminists alike.

So now we've got an artist who's like a feminist superhero at 93 ! It's interesting that her trailblazing moves in the art world are being compared to movements in politics. I mean, can you imagine if politicians took a similar risk and pushed boundaries like Semmel did? Would it be seen as bold or recklessness? Maybe we should take a page from her book and challenge societal norms in other areas of life too . But what's interesting is how art and politics intersect - often the most powerful statements are made through creative expression, right?

Just saw Joan Semmel's latest solo exhibition and I'm blown away by her fearless attitude at 93! She's like a trailblazer on fire , breaking barriers and challenging societal norms since the 70s. Her art is not just about nudity or sex, it's about female empowerment and reclaiming our own agency . The way she depicts herself in various states of undress is like a direct slap to the male gaze . And let's be real, her self-portraits are NOT just about vanity - they're about making us see ourselves from a different perspective . I love how she's pushing back on our prejudices and biases with her latest piece, "Skin in the Game" . Semmel is an icon, not just for women's rights but for art itself. She's proof that you can stay relevant at 93 and still be making waves !

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this Joan Semmel is literally a trailblazer at 93 years old and it's insane that she's still pushing boundaries like this. The way she took matters into her own hands back in the 70s to showcase her work is just so inspiring. I mean, who needs galleries when you can rent a space on Prince Street? It's amazing how much of an impact she's had on the art world and feminist movement. Her self-portraits are not just about her body but about challenging our perspective as viewers. It's so refreshing to see someone unapologetic and true to themselves at any age. I'm not sure what's more impressive, her art or her spirit
