    DescriptionThis image is universally recognized as a rude gesture of defiance or belligerence. Isolated and enlarged, the sexually ambiguous mouth can be interpreted as a tongue-out-of, rather than in-cheek, reference to the blatancy of advertising billboards. We can speculate that the mouth is the artist's own, as Marisol is known to have made a number of provocative works around this time based on her own body.
