Pleasure Dome 2003

"Pleasure Dome" is a 2003 painting by Miriam Schapiro. It is a semi-circular work of art comprised of vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and abstract shapes. The artwork resembles a fan, creating a visual sense of movement and energy, as if opening to reveal a world of fantasy and delight. The use of collage and mixed media techniques, characteristic of Schapiro's style, gives the artwork a multi-layered and textured quality. This artwork is a prime example of Schapiro's artistic practice which explored themes of women's experiences, domesticity, and the power of female imagery.
