This lavishly illustrated volume focuses on the aspect of stagecraft that characterizes all her works. Hausner, who previously worked as a set designer, constructs three-dimensional settings for her pictures in her studio before she begins painting. Fragments of cars or train compartments become backdrops, and mundane, everyday objects become co-actors in her quirky comic strips. She thus confronts us through staged excerpts with the contradictions inherent within ourselves, with facets that we do not reveal to the outside world. Those fictions are what permits her to search with a penetrating vision for the true heart of the matter--and to reveal it in her pictures. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e ​Starting with Hausner's early works from the 1990s and tracing her career through her most recent, powerfully moving, Exiles series, this book lures us into the mysterious world of interpersonal relationships.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElsy Lahner\u003c\/b\u003e is the curator for contemporary art at the Albertina in Vienna. \u003cb\u003eKlaus Albrecht Schöder\u003c\/b\u003e is an Austrian art historian and the director of the Albertina, Vienna. ahner and Schröder are the coeditors of several books, including \u003ci\u003eBurhan Doğançay\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNitsch: Spaces of Color\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 252\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 11.5 x 11.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 31, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175239172345,"sku":"9783777439549","price":56.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/U05KSVlCdGNQLzRNbCtkbnRRaDlsdz09.webp?v=1767665517","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/xenia-hausner-true-lies-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
