{"product_id":"saar-black-girl-s-window","title":"Saar: Black Girl’s Window","description":"\u003cb\u003eNew in MoMA's 'One on One' series, this book focuses on Betye  Saar's  Black Girl's Window  (1969) and a selection of the artist's  prints from the 1960s and early 1970s\u003c\/b\u003e . \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Betye Saar made  Black Girl's Window  in 1969. It is a deeply autobiographical picture  that alluded to her African-American heritage along with her interest in mysticism  and astrology. The black girl named in the title appears in the lower half of this found  window frame. The girl's facial features are hidden. The only thing there are these  surprisingly bright blue eyes, which appear to open and close if you shift back and forth  in front of it.       The work encourages us to think about connections between eyes, that are often  said to be windows on the soul, and pictures, that have been said to be windows on  the world. Saar herself once said that she considers windows to represent a means of  traveling from one level of consciousness to another. If you continue to look at the  girl, you can see that her hands are covered with yellow and red symbols. Some of  these same symbols, in particular the crescent moon and the stars, are echoed in the  nine small vignettes created in the spaces outlined by the intersecting crossbars of her  found window frame.","brand":"The Museum of Modern Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42664972419108,"sku":"9781633450769","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9781633450769.jpg?v=1773239106","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/saar-black-girl-s-window","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
