Cornelia Schleime: The Colour, the Body, the Face, the Eyes - Tapa dura

German artist Cornelia Schleime's (born 1953) most frequent subject is the female form, merging or coexisting with the kinds of animals one might expect to find in the European countryside--rabbits, deer, turtles and fish. Infused with a subtle eroticism, her paintings, drawings and watercolors exert a fascination that is amply conveyed in this monograph.
