Karen Lamassonne, Petit Dejeuner (Breakfast), 1978 (2022). Photograph / digital printing on photo rag baryta 315 gr paper. Lamassonne always drew from life to make her early paintings, using models, mirrors or her own body. In 1978 she had a camera for the first time and made numerous selfportraits, some of which recall motifs from her early paintings, such as the body in the bath. Several of the portraits have a comic note to them, such as the photograph of the artist with her head in a refrigerator or wearing an improvised garment made from a watermelon. @karenlamassonne #karenlamassonne #swissinstitute
