Baby Block Bouquet 1981

Miriam Schapiro's 1981 work, *Baby Block Bouquet*, is a colorful and intricate example of her signature style, combining elements of collage, painting, and feminist art. The artwork features a heart-shaped canvas filled with a vibrant, stylized floral design, with a central black area surrounded by a border of geometric shapes. This piece, like much of Schapiro's work, examines the relationship between art and femininity, questioning traditional notions of beauty and representation. The use of mixed media and the emphasis on pattern and repetition are key elements of Schapiro's approach.
