about the book

These collected texts, which date from 1943 to 1997, mirror Austrian painter and draughtswoman Maria Lassnig's reflections, but above all they reveal the artist as human being: recollections of places from her childhood, the experience of growing older, perceptions of stillness and solitude, as well as intense experiences of nature.

The Artist

Maria Lassnig

Born in Carinthia in Southern Austria in 1919, Maria Lassnig’s (1919 – 2014) work is based on the observation of the physical presence of the body and what she termed ‘body awareness’, or ‘Körpergefühl’ in German. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna in the midst of the Second World War. Then, in post-war Europe, she quickly moved away from the state-approved academic realism in which she was trained, looking to Austria’s own avant-garde past, such as the coloration of Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele’s expressionist treatment of figuration.
