Jo-Jo Menstrual

A very unusual genre of abstract art whereby two lesbians have finger-painted each other's menstrual fluid on canvas with a sweeping, swirling effect. ( The term was coined by two late women artists who were lovers, one of whom had a first name beginning with "Jo" and the other whose surname began with "Jo", hence the reference to "Jo-Jo".)

"This rare Jo-Jo menstrual painting over here in the corner of the gallery, with it's captivating reddish-brown swirls of color, is quite a striking piece of artwork," remarked the museum curator.
