Summary/Abstract: The topic of this research revolves around certain sculptures produced by Ana Lupaș in the 80s and 90s and never analyzed from a gender perspective. The way in which the feminine and the masculine presence in a socialist society are stylized through visual abstraction is treated in detail, on specific examples. Together with the titles of the works, that convey a subtle message, the reasoning behind some visual solutions shall be debated from a historical, political, but also sociological point of view. The final purpose would be to give a better understanding of how this artist was able to identify social gender relations at the time of her creations.
