Yellow background image with the woman from the famous painting, La Grande Odalisque, by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. The woman has a gorilla mask placed over her head. Her body and the head are black and white, with her chair and other items all pink. Above her is text that reads, "Do women have to be naked to get into the Met. Museum?" To the left is smaller, supporting text that reads, "Less than 5% of the artists in the Modern Art Section are women, but 85% of the nudes are female." The words 5%, artists, 85%, and nudes are in pink to draw emphasis to them. Below this information is the name of the creator, the Guerrilla Girls, and their address of Box 1056 Cooper Sta. NY, NY 10276 Conscience of the Art World.
