She has painted and drawn for over sixty years, and the freshness and expressive power in particular of her late work is striking. She succeeds in capturing her emotions—sometimes seriously, sometimes humorously—on canvas and paper.\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; COLOR: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial\"\u003eThis volume addresses itself to her very personal and direct drawings and watercolors.

The book’s main focus, however, is on the artist’s most recent works, in which she combines simple pencil drawings with loud, often lurid backgrounds in a baffling way. Today, just as it did sixty years ago, for Lassnig, paper serves as a corrective, as a mirror of her Self. \u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; COLOR: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; COLOR: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial\"\u003eExhibition schedule: Museum Ludwig, \u003cst1:City w:st=\"on\"\u003e\u003cst1:place w:st=\"on\"\u003eCologne\u003c\/st1:place\u003e\u003c\/st1:City\u003e, March 14–June 14, 2009\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44873327182088,"sku":"9783775724180","price":39.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775724180_3166649e-acb7-45c8-a15d-5ff4882a6a03.jpg?v=1744114449","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16204-maria-lassnig","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
