Issue #7 of THE international with Rita Ackermann, featuring drawings, collages, photographs and new paintings that were inspired by and created during Rita Ackermann's stay in Texas. Dry air of Texas, drawings of girls, crashed cars, a story of local cowboy... This is her diary. The new paintings are much rougher with powerful brushstrokes, but very dynamic and more evocative than ever.
New York City based artist Rita Ackerman was born in Budapest in
1968. From 1989 to 1992, she attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest
