Abstract

The paper looks at the work of woman pop artist Marisol Escobar whose art has for many years been analyzed based on its “Otherness”, whether it was because of the fact that Marisol was a woman, her ethnic and exotic background, or the fact that her work was dismissed as child-like, primitive and folk art. The text also deals with the work of Marisol showing the American middle class women of the ‘60s, the position of the artist within the pop art movement; and the ways the press and the art critics dealt with Marisol’s public image and work.
