Description
This silkscreen was created as a German release poster for the film **Daddy** by **Niki de Saint Phalle**. The film was released in 1974.
This work is a highly critical piece centered on the theme of "father," deeply connected to the artist's personal experiences. Through this film, Niki de Saint Phalle expressed her strong rebellion against patriarchal power and domestic oppression.
The film "Daddy" is an extremely personal and shocking work, created as an indictment of the absolute authority of the father figure, while addressing the theme of incestuous paternal domination.
This silkscreen was created as a poster symbolizing the spirit of that film and can be considered one of the important works demonstrating the artist's self-liberation and critical spirit in art.
