Comprehensive view and new research on the fascinating painter of New Objectivity.
The German-Swedish painter Lotte Laserstein (1898-1993) is one of the most exciting rediscoveries of recent years. The richly illustrated book with essays on Laserstein's production in Berlin and her reception in Sweden as well as unpublished documentary material can enrich the existing knowledge of Laserstein's life and work.
Laserstein's current reputation as a great realist has assigned her an undisputed place in the 20th-century art history. Striking portraits, self-portraits and sensual nudes demonstrate her synthesis of traditional painting style and modern subject matter in the Berlin period.
