Liane Collot d'Herbois: Work and Life

Liane Collot d'Herbois: Work and Life
edited by Peter Selg

Liane Collot d'Herbois was a highly gifted artist and an impressive personality - extraordinarily 'aware', wise and modest; humorous and clear-thinking, with inner resoluteness and a striking, unique spirituality. Her more than 1700 paintings, the majority of which were composed in accord with a complex veil-layering technique, are now widely dispersed around the world.

This book, published in Switzerland, is an impressive tribute to her life's work. Printed with both German and English texts, edited by Peter Selg, and containing 205 colour reproductions of her paintings.
