Annekas63: Created a page in English dedicated to the Danish artist Ovartaci
Ovartaci the artistic name of the Danish Visual artist Marcussen (1894 – 1985). Ovartaci was committed to the Risskov psychiatric hospital in 1929. Ovartaci competed a sex change operation in 1957. She lived and worked in the institution for fifty six years. Ovartaci's phantasmagoric work features numerous female and animal figures set within an abundance of symbols, interiors and landscapes. These figures are invested with a sense of identification that seems to defy the divide between real life and the realm of art. In 2018 an expansive exhibition entitled "[http://bit.ly/2Ajshup Ovartaci and the Art of Madness]" included a survey of the artist's work as well as homages and related works by contemporary artists.
