The Revolution will Be Female
2017
Rendered in Dzama's unmistakable graphic vocabulary, "The Revolution will Be Female" from 2017 is a lithograph print on Velin d'Arches paper that channels the artist's signature blend of folkloric imagery, political undercurrent, and restrained yet arresting color. At just over 100 by 68 centimeters, the work carries a commanding presence on paper, unfolding Dzama's characteristic world of masked figures and choreographed tension into a statement that feels simultaneously timeless and urgently contemporary. The title functions as both provocation and declaration, and the composition delivers on that weight with the quiet confidence that has made Dzama one of the most distinctive voices working in printmaking and works on paper today. The piece is hand-signed by the artist and presented in excellent condition, printed on the coveted Velin d'Arches paper that lends warmth and depth to the lithographic line. This is a work that rewards close looking, offering layers of symbolic meaning rooted in Dzama's broader practice, which draws freely from Dada, surrealism, and the visual traditions of folk theater. Collectors drawn to works that balance formal elegance with conceptual substance will find this print a compelling and enduring acquisition. A portion of the proceeds from this work supports Pioneer Works, the acclaimed Brooklyn-based cultural center dedicated to artistic and scientific experimentation. Acquiring this piece thus connects a collector both to Dzama's ongoing legacy and to an institution that has become a vital node in the contemporary arts ecosystem.
