Sweet Smell of Sage Enters the Room
1979
Ida Applebroog
American, born 1929
Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art
Ida Applebroog’s work addresses gender politics and women’s sexuality in the sphere of the traditional nuclear family home. Designed like a comic strip, Sweet Smell of Sage Enters the Room depicts the monotonous terror of persistent domestic abuse and engages viewers as spectators observing something that would normally take place behind closed doors.
