...painting changed, becoming looser, splashier, more atmospheric than it had ever been before. The drawing loosened too, and the place supplied him with a different subject matter-a landscape of dunes and water reflections, green groves and pink bodies half eroded by light, full of softness and coarse sexual ebullience.

Writes Hazleton: "Sexual polarization is by now so deep on the kibbutz that not even the extreme crisis of war can induce women to work in production." Instead, women are cozily content with minor roles and worry a great deal about their looks. "There is hardly a kibbutz that does not have a beauty parlor-an abomination and unforgivable bourgeois luxury in the old days," says Hazleton. "The fight of kibbutz women is against wrinkles, not against discrimination...
