Image of the Week
The Image of the Week is by Sylvia Plath. Made in 1960 when the writer was living in London, it was unnamed but is commonly referred to as "the Eisenhower collage".
"Here’s something I’ve learned from studying notebooks: often, creative people are creative across multiple mediums. Take Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) for example—she was a brilliant writer and a talented visual artist.
"Not only did Plath fill her diaries with sketches, she created elaborate scrapbooks to document her life. She painted striking pieces of abstract art. She expressed her political views in a collage with Eisenhower’s face at its center. She was obsessed with the color red." - Jillian Hess
