Carolee Schneemann and Robert Morris, SIte, 1963 

Dressed and posed as Manet’s Olympia, while Morris works with plywood sheets, Scheemann explored how history marginalized Manet’s model, Victorine Meurent, herself an artist; Schneemann was interested in how a woman, known in her own time as a painter, has come to be known in history as a face and a body.
