‘Mein Stil hat Pause’ Maria Lassnig

Philippe Karrer Studio was commissioned to design this 320-page softcover book published by Scheidegger & Spiess. It offers a new perspectives on the work of the renowned Austrian artist Maria Lassnig (1919–2014).

While Lassnig is best known for her “body awareness painting,” Hoffmann’s book sheds light on lesser-known aspects of her creative practice. It explores her extensive written notes, designs and creations of clothing and costumes, her teaching activities, and her photographic works. The book also highlights her collaboration with writer and language theorist Oswald Wiener, particularly their cognitive experiments and the resulting grid-like watercolor drawings.
