This is a biography of Remedios Varo, a Surrealist painter based on interviews with the artist's family, close friends and fellow artists. From her wandering childhood in Spain to her final years of intense creativity in Mexico City, Remedios Varo lived a life filled with adventures as strange as the scenes she rendered. Varo had a war-haunted life - she moved to Paris to escape the Spanish Civil War, then barely escaped France during the Nazi occupation - and had intense romantic involvements with three husbands and numerous lovers. The greatest influence on her art and life was Surrealism, which she first encountered in Barcelona and later pursued in Paris where she was married to the Surrealist poet Benjamin Peret, and where her long, collaborative friendship with Leonora Carrington began. The author also draws on the family's extensive archives and research in Mexico, Europe and North Africa. She settled in Mexico in 1942, where she remained - and was passionately admired - until her death in 1963.. Tapping into sources as diverse as alchemy and physics, mysticism and engineering, mythology and mathematics, she created evocative, jewel-like images whose power is reinforced by her highly precise technique
Excellent Overview of Remedios Varo's Life. I greatly enjoy this book. She was part of the Surrealism and the book gives an excellent overview of Remedios Varo's life, her artworks, and her surrealists friends. The book shows a great compilation of her works and her great contribution to Mexican Art. Eventhough she born in Spain, she called Mexico her home.If you want to learn more about Spanish Surrealists this is a great artist to read about.. Fine book on underrated female surrealist. jfanuzzi@hotmail.com This book is quite good, and to my knowledge, the only one available covering Varo's work. As such, it is essential for her devotees, and even to some extent, for fans of surrealism. Both Varo and her fellow artist Leonora Carrington, (whose works are thematically and technically very similar) deserve wider appreciation. It is, however, excessive to award the book five stars. The reader might compare it to Druick's "Redon", which, with its simultaneously wide-ranging and penetrating scholarship and analysis, and luminous r. This is an amazing portrait of a wonderful artist. A Customer This book is a must for all Varo fans as well as fans of surrealism and the surrealist movement. It is well researched and well written. Having been exposed to her work through an advertisement and buying this book to learn more about her, I highly reccommend this. I have read many bio's and this one has magnificent reproductions of her artwork throughout as well as photographs of the artist herself
