Maria Lassnig (1919-2014) is considered the grande dame of Austrian animation film. Her unconventional films, made with stencil, watercolors or felt-tip pen; her blue-box performances, vocal numbers and split-screen experiments show even more clearly than her painting, the Carinthian artist’s sense of humor and enjoyment of experimentation.
