Why this Unknown Artwork Is One of the Greatest of the 20th Century

A female artist from Germany who broke the rules

In my Studio (1928) by Lotte Laserstein. Oil on panel. 46 × 73 cm. Private collection. © VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn 2019

This painting is, in my view, one of the greatest paintings of the 20th century. It is not a well-known image, yet it deserves to be considered among the very best works of recent art.
