Kathryn Hughes reviews Maria Lassnig at Tate Liverpool which will be on view from May 18 - September 18, 2016.

Hughes writes: "Lassnig’s starting point may have been her gut feeling, but what she did with that feeling was always artistically knowing and intellectually nimble... Far from being whimsical or cute, Lassnig provides a succinct and witty account of the difficulty of translating bodily sensation into a visual language."
