Anita Kunz

Women you should know

Aline Kominsky-Crumb. Femalel Artists You Should Know. June 2022. So many women artists through history have been marginalized or forgotten entirely. This portrait is one of the 400 women I've painted.

"No Photos, Please"

Mona Lisa raises her hand to block the view of her face. No Photos, Please. August 2022. For a Celebrity-themed Issue, Anita Kunz created a cheeky modern take on the iconic painting, Mona Lisa. “I used to do a lot of celebrity portraits for magazines, but I was never as interested in the people themselves as I was in the concept of celebrity. Why do we make them famous? Why do we care?”
