Many of Olin’s paintings depict naked lovers entangled with each other, almost melting into each other’s embrace.... [she] did not see boundaries where most of the rest of the world did. In her depictions of nude figures, the city—a symbol of public life—hangs in the background, free to look on at the nudity in the foreground of the painting. For the artist, there exists almost no distinction between private and public life. (http://faculty.hope.edu/andre/artistPages/olin_bio.html)
