Artist Carolee Schneemann Dead At 79

“Over the course of Schneemann’s multifarious 60-year career, her art came to form the bedrock of radical traditions like performance art and body art, even while she insisted on identifying herself all the while with a traditional label. ‘I’m a painter,’ she said in 1993. ‘I’m still a painter and I will die a painter. Everything that I have developed has to do with extending visual principles off the canvas.'” – ARTnews
