[[Mary Beth Edelson]]'s [[Some Living American Women Artists (collage)|''Some Living American Women Artists/Last Supper'']] (1972) appropriated [[Leonardo da Vinci]]'s ''The Last Supper'', with the heads of notable women artists collaged over the heads of Christ and his apostles; Ono was among those notable women artists. This image, addressing the role of religious and art historical iconography in the subordination of women, became "one of the most iconic images of the [[feminist art movement]]".<ref name="Frost Art Museum">{{cite web|url=http://drawingproject.frostartmuseum.org/mary-beth-edelson/|title=Mary Beth Edelson|work=The Frost Art Museum Drawing Project|access-date=January 11, 2014|archive-date=June 15, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160615102555/http://drawingproject.frostartmuseum.org/mary-beth-edelson/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Clara - Edelson">{{cite web|url=http://clara.nmwa.org/index.php?g=entity_detail&entity_id=1321|title=Mary Beth Adelson|work=Clara – Database of Women Artists|publisher=National Museum of Women in the Arts|location=Washington, D.C.|access-date=January 10, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140110213429/http://clara.nmwa.org/index.php?g=entity_detail&entity_id=1321|archive-date=January 10, 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>
