“The cycle is obvious: sit, think, paint, rinse, repeat. While the choice of agelessness allows for a certain visual anachronism, it also reinforces Salomonowitz's argument that Lassnig's battle with the art scene and herself was a lifelong one. When she finally became famous and appreciated, she remained stuck in her old ways. But it's not just the break with traditional narrative chronology that's remarkable; Salomonowitz once again employs her signature style of merging scenes portrayed by actors, historical footage, and interviews.”
