Unrequited

Norman Bluhm and Frank O'Hara, "Meet Me in the Park," 1960, gouache on paper


Sam Francis, "Blue Balls," 1960, oil on canvas


Nancy Spero, "Artaud Painting -- All Writing Is Pigshit," 1969, left-handed writing and painting on paper.  Spero's series on notoriously misogynistic writer Antonin Artaud was a "forced collaboration"; Spero experienced a psychological connection with the writer despite feeling what she described as "his disapproval."
