"[Mendelson Joe] paints with more emotion than almost any other painter in the
country. It comes through blazingly in the colours of his 'Working Women'
series." - Toronto Star In the words of Mendelson Joe: "My purposein my work,
any of it from song to essay to picture, is to tell the truth and it seems
that most truth ain't couth. Inequality bugs me. Prejudice bugs me. And, I've
long believed that women are the only hope for this ever-degrading organism
that mothered us all. So, in 1982, I began to paint portraits of women. The
purpose was to document women in the context of their job descriptions, so the
pictures showed them as working folks as opposed to sexual objects." For
years, Mendelson Joe has been painting portraits of women, some of them
prominent (Anna Banana, Doris Anderson, Irshad Manji, June Callwood, Jane
Siberry), and some less so. Along with faithful reproductions of the original
paintings, Joe has added his own brand of particular comments about the
subject and the sessions.
