Matuschka
For many years, Matuschka was a dynamic presence on the NYC art scene, collaborating with other artists and recognized and honored for her work in a variety of mediums. Although her accomplishments as an artist and photographer are central to her career, it was her activism in the 90s that is generally regarded as her greatest contribution and achievement.
At a fraction of an inch under 6 feet- the aspiring artist became known as an artist’s model in Northern New Jersey: a muse and inspiration for many renown photographers and painters including herself. Little did anyone know that Matuschka’s introduction to the arts and the art of modeling at a very young age would become a modus operandi throughout her life and she would use her body as ‘subject’ and ‘object’ for decades.
