Maria Lassnig (1919–2014) is celebrated as a pivotal painter of the 20th and 21st centuries, known for her exploration of "body awareness" in her art. In the early 1970s, she expanded this theme into film while studying animation in New York, creating works in 8mm and 16mm. Although some films, such as Selfportrait, Iris, Couples, and Shapes, became part of her recognized oeuvre, many remained unfinished. These "films in progress" serve as autobiographical notes and artistic experiments, showcasing her distinctive subjects and methods. In 2018, her film legacy was restored and completed according to her original vision by collaborators Hans Werner Poschauko and Mara Mattuschka, receiving international acclaim. This German-language publication offers the first comprehensive index of her film works, providing insights into her creative ideas through a selection of previously unpublished notes. It includes a DVD featuring her "films in progress." Two essays by James Boaden and Stefanie Proksch-Weilguni contextualize Lassnig's work within the 1970s US film avant-garde, while conversations with the restoration team illuminate the rediscovery of her captivating films.
