2 Silver Barbras (Jewish Jackie series)
Rendered in cool, luminous silver tones, this work presents a doubled image of Barbra Streisand silkscreened onto canvas, drawing an immediate visual parallel to Andy Warhol's iconic celebrity portraits. Part of Kass's *Jewish Jackie* series, the piece replaces Warhol's repeated depictions of Jackie Kennedy with a distinctly Jewish cultural icon, reclaiming the pop art canon through a feminist and identity-driven lens. The repetition of Streisand's image challenges notions of whose likeness is deemed worthy of mythologization in American art and culture.
