Description:
Ioanna Rheinfelder was born in Bucharest, Romania, but moved to Munich in 1970. She was a graphic designer who did woodblock work and wall painting, as well as musical and theatrical activities. The artist spent some time in Cyprus pre-1974 and was a friend of the Cypriot painter Adamantios Diamantis. She also had an interest in ethnography and, intrigued by the Cypriot culture and life, tried to adapt her work and her titles to reflect this. The artist depicts a typical rural scene of threshing much attested in the Cypriot countryside. The threshing floor is delineated by a circular array of stones providing the site for a villager to thresh with the help of his wife. Once again, the role of the Cypriot woman as a labourer is highlighted in accordance with the norms found in the countryside, seconded by the use of animals such as the donkey
