Ida Applebroog (b. 1929, The Bronx, New York) is a renowned American artist and a significant figure in the feminist art movement. Her work, spanning painting, sculpture, drawing, and installation, is distinguished by its unique, comic-like style and fragmented narratives. Applebroog fearlessly explores complex themes of power, gender, sexuality, and violence, using her art to critically examine human relationships and societal norms. Her legacy is defined by her unflinching social commentary and her innovative approach to media, which has secured her a place in major museum collections worldwide and inspired generations of contemporary artists.
