About

"Maria Lassnig has made a perfectly lovely film entitled SELF PORTRAIT to which I would give first prize. About here own film Ms. Lassnig has written: 'Using my own drawings, realistic, surrealistic or abstract, I have drawn the moods, fears, thoughts and parts of a life story (the drawings were then animated). This self-portrait was done before a mirror without the help of photographs. I also did all camera work and sound.' –Marcia Cavell, Changes, January, 1973
