Leaves of Grass is a publication by Swiss artist Yves Scherer made in connection to the exhibition with the same title at Galleri Golsa. The title is a reference to Walt Whitman’s well-known book of poetry, in which he developed a language to speak about the national identity of the newly founded United States of America.

The book opens with a collection of paparazzi photographs that shows Laetitia Casta on a short holiday in Corsica, the island where she was born. In connection to the photographs are large scale oil paintings of identical format that were painted during quarantine in 2020 in his studio in the Bronx, NYC. They are executed with traditional oil paint that gets sprayed onto thickly primed cotton canvas.
