This iconoclast who defied and decried

  • the bourgeoisie
  • the feminists
  • existentialists
  • zionists
  • the stalinists
  • and fantacists
  • the catholics 
  • war criminals, imperialists and terrorists
                                                                 demands our attention.

This iconoclast who disturbed while dissecting

  • and pluralists
  • the psychiatrists
  • progressives
  • new dealers
  • utopians
  • bourgeois bohemians
  • men
  • herself
  • art capitalists and apologists
