Three books in one (Ger./Engl.)
Nan Hoover, Anneliese Hager and Maria Lassnig are women artists whoexpressed themselves experimentally and innovatively in various media.They were interested in alienation effects, body perception, andreflections about time and space. All three explored Surrealism early onand found their own individual visual language in different ways: thecommon denominator is a preoccupation with light, space and the body, aswell as the existential question of self-perception and one's place inthe world.
While American Hoover (Born in Bay Shore, New York)  was one of the pioneers ofinternational light, video and performance art and produced a surprisingpainterly early oeuvre close to pop art, Hager, who is one of the mostinteresting female photographers of the 20th century, remains verylittle known. Today, Austrian painter Lassnig is one of the mostimportant female artists of the 20th century, but she only achieved herinternational breakthrough late - in the 1980s.
This publication, threebooks in one, enables readers to rediscover the three artists, or evendiscover them for the first time.
