Dialogues

Three years after the death of one of Austria's greatest contemporary artists, this publication pays tribute to the drawings and watercolours of Maria Lassnig (1919–2014). Previously unknown works are revealed in the exhibition as key pieces – together with familiar works, they provide new insights into the diverse oeuvre of the internationally renowned Austrian artist. Profound emotions lie at the heart of her fascinating and autonomous work. Visualising physical sensations and tracing bodily perceptions form the focus of her body awareness works. Humorous and serious, wistful and merciless, the artist captures her impressions on paper. The felt physical world enters into dialogue with the visible outside world, with nature or in the big city. Lassnig's drawings and watercolours often anticipate central themes in her painting or accompany them in autonomous variations, illustrating their central importance within her artistic oeuvre.
