Deep in the heart of my loneliness, I think of the art of my lioness. German Fluxus artist Dieter Roth s enigmatic (and sometimes singsong) mail art for his lover, the artist Dorothy Iannone, was matched only by her responses and the sexually loaded non-mailable art she made featuring the two of them. Roth and Iannone met in 1967, broke up in 1974, and remained friends and lively correspondents until Roth s death. He painted over and dimmed the subjects of postcard photos to make himself the central figure; she needed no prompting to cast him in a starring role in her autobiographically based oeuvre. From my dear old baby, will you please bring this check to the bank so we have some money when I come back, to remember me? they were a fascinating couple; now readers can encounter that passion themselves.
