Big Daddy (Beach Scene)

May Stevens was an American painter and printmaker whose practice spanned abstraction, figuration, and political activism across seven decades. Working primarily in acrylic and mixed media, she created large-scale works that interrogated domesticity, labor, and historical erasure, often incorporating found materials and archival imagery. Stevens's commitment to feminist and leftist aesthetics shaped her output from the 1950s onward, producing work that refused easy categorization between formal experiment and social engagement.
