Artist Crush: Verena Baumann

Tuesday, July 22, 2014 · 1 Comment

These picnic scenes by Swiss painter and photographer Verena Baumann clearly reference that most famous of picnic scenes, Manet’s Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe. Both artists hack away at entrenched social constructs; Manet by placing a nude woman in the company men, Baumann by creating a soup of figures, interactions and intentions. Both pull apart the concept of polite, orderly society.
