A nude woman appears in an imaginary landscape, evoking the long tradition of this subject throughout art history, but with a geometricized style meant to reference artworks encountered during the artist's travels throughout Africa several years before. Its title suggests Billops\u2019s frustration with power struggles encountered while negotiating a place within the New York art world of the 1960s and '70s.",
