Book Synopsis Unexpected Journeys by : Janet A. Kaplan
Download or read book Unexpected Journeys written by Janet A. Kaplan. This book was released on 1988. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The adventures that fill the strange and wonderful paintings by Remedios Varo (1908-1963) reflect the physical and psychological journeys of her own tumultuous life. Raised in a strict Spanish family and rigorously trained in academic art, Varo first found escape in Barcelona's bohemian avant-garde. After fleeing the Spanish Civil War with the poet Benjamin Péret, later her husband, she entered the inner circle of the Surrealists in Paris. Forced to flee again by the Nazis, she and Péret faced a year of mounting danger in Marseilles before securing passage to Mexico. Finding welcome refuge in Mexico City, where she remained until her death, Varo produced the extraordinary paintings for which she gained renown. Janet A. Kaplan's vivid chronicle, the first on the subject in English, weaves Varo's life with the artist's exquisite work. Painted with a jewellike palette and old-master precision, Varo's intimate tableaus, rich with details of women's experience, tell fantasy tales of alchem, science, mysticism, and magic. Fifty color reproductions capture the wit and beauty of her major paintings; numerous black-and-white illustrations document other works and portray the compelling artist with her circle of lifelong friends and admirers. The book is further enlivened by her own voice, conveyed in hilarious letters and surreal stories, published here for the first time. An instant celebrity in Mexico--where her retrospectives have drawn record crowds--Varo has recently found enthusiastic audiences in Europe and the Americas. A woman of intense magnetism and powerful imagination, Varo has been little known outside Mexico. The fascinating story of her life and dazzling intricacy of her art will prove a revelation."--Front flap of book jacket.
