About Not Married

The artwork titled “Not Married” was created by Beatrice Wood in 1965. It belongs to the Neo-Dada and Feminist Art movements and is classified as a sculpture.

The artwork depicts a female figure seated on a rustic chair, holding a cat on her lap. The woman’s attire includes a modest, long-sleeved dress in muted tones, contributing to a sense of introspection and simplicity. Her exaggerated facial features, particularly her wide eyes and slightly open mouth, evoke a sense of contemplation or subtle disquiet. The cat, which she cradles with a gentle embrace, has a distinctly anthropomorphic expression, adding an element of whimsical surrealism. The rough texture and glazed finish of the sculpture emphasize its handcrafted nature, aligning with the Neo-Dada movement’s emphasis on challenging traditional artistic conventions. Overall, the work subtly engages with themes of femininity, solitude, and the complexities of personal identity.
