📱 eBook en inglés MIRIAM CAHN. WRITING IN RAGE

Radical, personal, uncompromising – Miriam Cahn in her own words

Swiss artist Miriam Cahn is one of the most uncompromising voices in contemporary art. For the first time, Writing in Rage brings together her diary entries, letters, essays, and reflections – raw, angry, and deeply personal.

This text-only volume offers an intimate look into the mind of an artist whose work revolves around themes of violence, tenderness, war, devastation, and physical vulnerability. More than just commentary on her own creations, these writings form a powerful, radical document of female autonomy in the art world.

Highlights:

First-time publication of Miriam Cahns collected writings – including diaries, letters, and essays Insights into her creative process, family, and artistic philosophy Unfiltered language and radical subjectivity – a manifesto of independence Essential reading for fans of feminist art, social criticism, and text-image interplay

An essential companion for understanding Miriam Cahns work – and the fearless mind behind it.

The Swiss artist MIRIAM CAHN (*1949, Basel) deals with political and social themes in oil paintings; charcoal, chalk, and colored and lead pencil drawings; and in photographs, films, and installations. Strong color is characteristic of her work, forming a stark contrast to the recurring motifs of violence, tenderness, war, destruction, and physical infirmity. Her habit of commenting upon her work in writing is a golden thread running throughout Cahns career. She illuminates her own art, commenting in the process on art and world events, and she sets up the texts opposite her artworks in exhibitions and publications.
