"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it." Jack Levine: January 3, 1915 – November 8, 2010 LEVEL BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE

Ruth Gikow Early Bride c. 1955
Jack Levine was Ruth Gikow's husband until she died in 1982. He was about the strongest advocate of her work. To me her work was a precursor to the earliest documents of 2nd wave feminism and it remained a continuing commentary on the position of women in the world. She was saying the same things Betty Friedan would say years and decades earlier.
