Lunchbox is signed and numbered and no two lunchboxes are alike. Marilyn Minter is an American visual artist who is perhaps best known for her sensual paintings and photographs done in the photorealism style that blur the line between commercial and fine art. Minter currently teaches in the MFA department at the School of Visual Arts in New York City Marilyn Minter was born in 1948 in Shreveport, Louisiana. She received a BA in 1970 from the University of Florida at Gainesville and an MFA in 1972 from Syracuse University, New York. Having studied photography and painting, she employed a photorealistic style in the 1970s to capture banal feminine realities such as kitchen floors and frozen peas; in 1978, she moved to New York. In the 1980s and early 1990s, she turned her exacting style to sensual subjects such as food, the female body, and pornography. A critical backlash against her explicitly sexual work caused Minter to question the origin of the public's discomfort with the body and sexuality, which drew her toward ubiquitous, lascivious—yet not lewd—imagery in popular culture, especially in the fashion world. Minter at first set out to reinvigorate the tropes of fashion photography through fine art, but the juxtaposition of in-your-face beauty with down-and-dirty reality ultimately became her focus. She appropriates the vocabulary of fashion and beauty, then mars the Photoshopped flawlessness and color palette of contemporary advertising with sweat, spit, hair, and dirt.
