When the Austrian artist Maria Lassnig (1919–2014) painted herself, she depicted only the parts of her body she could physically feel while working. Lassnig described this as an internal representation—versus an external one—and called the technique “body awareness.” The images are abstract, often possessing a surreal or ghostly quality. Edvard Munch (1863–1944) is also known for haunted imagery, his figures embodying existential crisis. Munch traveled widely, suffered mental breakdowns—most notably in 1908—and spent his last 20 years in solitude. Both artists used color to project grief, love, and loneliness. Now, 180 works by Lassnig and Munch are presented side by side. —Elena Clavarino
