While Maria Lassnig, Cathy Josefowitz, and Carol Rama were born in different countries—respectively, Austria, America, and Italy—as artists they were similarly intimate with female physicality, and depicted the body and psyche through amorphous forms. Lassnig called this “body awareness” and painted the parts of herself she could feel while working. Josefowitz was driven by her exploration of the flesh envelope with which she always felt at odds. “I was crippled by the image of myself,” she wrote. For Rama, her limbless watercolor nudes were an act of rebellion against the fascist world she endured in her youth. “Work is the only way to drive off my fears,” she said. “My rebellion consists of painting.” This exhibition at Hauser & Wirth unites the work of these three women for the first time, highlighting their journeys into the mind-body connection. —Maggie Turner
