"The work of Peter Bömmels has been described as "a Grimm's fairytale world of horrific metamorphosis." His imagery (which he attributes partly to his Catholic religious education) and his materials work together to form a complex allegorical language. The thick, creamy ground of this painting is overlaid with delicate lines made of human hair. The artist said that "the symbolic charge of the hair should never be seen in direct connection with the pictorial narrative." While Bömmels urges viewers to separate their response to his materials from the story of the painting, this proves very difficult to do. The image itself is also a challenge to interpret and may represent a dream or nightmare. It has been suggested that understanding Bömmels's images requires creating one's own individual mythology. The painting's title is inscribed by the artist on the back of the canvas, half in German and half in English. It translates roughly as "Sexes/Attack (Landscape Version)" and proves to be as enigmatic as the imagery."

Regarding Sonnabend Gallery
Sonnabend Gallery opened in Paris in 1962 and was instrumental in making American art of the 1960s known in Europe, with an emphasis on American Pop Art. In 1970, Sonnabend Gallery opened in New York on Madison Avenue and in 1971 relocated to 420 West Broadway in SoHo where it was one of the major protagonists that made SoHo the international art center it remained until the early 1990s. The gallery was instrumental in making European art of the 1970s known in America, with an emphasis on European conceptual art and Arte Povera. It also presented American conceptual and minimal art of the 1970s. In 1986, the so-called “Neo-Geo” show introduced, among others, the artist Jeff Koons.

Mitchell Becker emerged into the art world of late 1950s Chicago, between gestures of Abstract Expressionism and declarations about the "death of painting." The hot names of his youth, such as Willem De Kooning, Mark Rothko, and Larry Rivers, provided him with interest and challenges for years to come, and his awe for them is still evident in his voice to date, many years after drawing away from them. This work is reminiscent of the work of Saul Steinberg and Philip Guston.
