Yoko Ono
During our study time, we watched a documentary about Yoko Ono. She is a well know artist and person in general and if people do not know her work, they will definitely know her from being the wife of John Lennon. She was an already an interesting persona in the 20th century and some believe that she was the reason of the end of the Beatles. She was already after two marriages, and her art was controversial all around the world when she began dating and later married Lennon. Although many people have different opinions on her performances I believe they were quite astonishing. Especially the one were she let people cut her clothes. They started with small pieces, but soon, feeling justified, they were cutting more and revealing bigger parts of her body. I think it shows how the society works and people can do anything if they know they would get punished for it later. Overall Yoko Ono is an icon and changed the art world in some way, for me she is an amazing artist, although I would not personally create some of her pieces.
