Extase is a collaboration between Dorothy Iannone and Robert Filliou, combining Iannone’s sensual drawings with a song by Filliou. The publication embodies Iannone’s fascination with ecstasy, love, female desire and spiritual unity, and her belief that ecstasy need not be exceptional but can become part of everyday life. Her highly personal, erotic visual language made her a key figure within the feminist avant-garde and an important reference for contemporary artists.
