One of Smith’s largest prints, <I>Born</I> represents the most iconic of the artist’s treatments of the tale of Little Red Riding Hood, who dominates the group of \"female superheroes\" that Smith began representing in the late 1990s. Imbued with nostalgia for her childhood and Catholic upbringing, and influenced by feminism as well as Victorian book illustrations and art historical sources, these female characters morph into vulnerable yet powerful symbols. In Smith’s interpretation of Red Riding Hood, male heroism and female victimhood make way for a tale of mystical strength and communion between two women, granddaughter and grandmother, who we see here emerging unscathed from the bleeding wolf, as if reborn through death.</P></SPAN>","remarks":"MM rotation"}],"media":[{"id":140795,"uri":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/TC2014-27_VEN","isprimary":1,"rank":1,"mediatypeid":1,"mediaviewtype":"(not assigned)","restrictions":"Restricted","caption":"Vendor supplied image"}],"hasimage":"true","bibliography":[{"boilertext":"<P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 8pt\"><FONT face=Calibri><FONT size=3>Wendy Weitman, \"iki Smith: Prints, Books &amp;
