John Collier, Lilith. 1892. Oil on canvas (1887)
John William Waterhouse, Lamia. 1905. Oil on Canvas. 'Lamia' is Greco-Latin
equivalent of lilith-demon. The Vulgate uses the term to translate 'Lilith' in Isaiah 34.14.
For Waterhouse, the distinction between lamia and lilith would have been moot. Here, and in the
following picture, she is portrayed as a succubus.
John William Waterhouse, Lamia. 1909. Oil on Canvas. See previous comment.
Kenyon Cox (American, 1856-1919), Lilith. 1892. Presumably
This was a painting, but all I have is this copy. Nor do I know anything
more about it, other than that it appeared in the journal Zeitschrift
für bildende Kunst, N. F. 5, 1893. If you know anything more -
where the original resides, for example - and particularly if you have a
copy of the original, please let me know.I also know that a copy (print) exists at Brigham Young Univ.

Richard Callner
did a whole collection of paintings with Lilith as the theme. Most
are not viewable from the web, but
link will take you to a short index containing some of his images
from this theme.
Salvador Dali. Lilith and the Double Victory of Samothrace,
1966, bronze. This sculpture is visual midrash on the famous sculpture(s) of Nike
(The Winged Victory of Samothrace). It is apparently two
models of the classical sculpture fused face to face. How this
connects to Lilith, I am not sure. Write me if you have an explanation.
The photos are actually of a copy belonging to Dr. Poleon Yee,
used by permission. The original can be found at the Morohashi Museum
of Modern Art, Inawashiro, Japan.
Jappie King Black. Lilith. Hand woven (on a loom), crocheted,
stitched, wrapped, coiled and painted of mixed fibers: linen, wool,
cotton, silk, synthetics and alpaca approx. 60 x 12 x 12 inches with
wood base. Please read the artist's statement.

H.R. Giger. Lilith. If you are even a little familiar
with Giger's work,
you can't be too surprised to find that he portrayed
Lilith. She made the cover of one of his books, in fact.

Aaron-Taylor: Lilith. Probably wood & polymer.
I have been unable to verify the details on
this sculpture, but it most likely comes from her
Dieties series, circa 1994.
Sandra Stanton, Lilith. 40 in. diameter 1994 oil on linen.
Fay Pomerance. The Seventh Palace of Hell. To be perfectly
honest, I think this is supposed to be Lilith, but I don't
know for sure.
