Maria Lassnig: Works, Diaries & Writings

"Reality may look deformed but isn't because it takes place on another level, the level of feelings. If this often coincides with the level that's seen visually, then it's because my feeling of distance, trained by dealing with external things, has acquired a blind confidence so that external reality—the body everyone sees—is congruent with felt reality, the reality that's so difficult to define." Maria Lassnig's 1987 painting Myself as Alpine Cow is reproduced from Walther König's excellent study, Maria Lassnig: Works, Diaries & Writings, a featured title at ARTBOOK @ Hauser Wirth & Schimmel, where we will be highlighting books on women artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
