Allison Zuckerman (born 1990) is an American contemporary artist and painter. [1] Zuckerman's pop-surrealist work [2] fuses painting with digital printing techniques and appropriates various art historical tropes and references to "recast the submissive, romanticized female muses painted by male artists throughout Western art history as commanding, empowered figures." [3] Zuckerman creates an alternative narrative by remixing the female sitters of prominent male artists into a feminist 21st century. [3] [4]
