I make a mirror of my open hands / to see you

— Alice Paalen Rahon, from "[Un espalier de larmes non cueillies / A trellis of ungathered tears]," Shapeshifter, tr. Mary Ann Caws

A woman once lovely one day took off her face now her head was smooth blind and deaf sheltered from mirror traps and looks of love

Remedios Varo Uranga

Remedios Varo Uranga, née le 16 décembre 1908 à Anglès, dans la province de Gérone en Espagne, et morte le 8 octobre 1963 à Mexico, est une artiste peintre surréaliste espagnole.

Son père est un ingénieur hydraulique. En 1924, Remedios Varo entre à l'Académia de San Fernando où elle étudie les beaux-arts. En 1930, elle participe à une exposition collective à Madrid. Elle épouse le peintre basque Gerardo Lizarraga et ils partent s'installer à Paris.

Elle revient à Barcelone, en 1932, se sépare de Lizagarra et se lie avec le peintre Esteban Francés.

En 1936, Remedios Varo participe à l'exposition Logicofobista organisée à la Galeria Catalonia de Barcelone et rencontre le poète surréaliste français Benjamin Péret, venu combattre avec les anarchistes de la colonne Durutti sur le front de Teruel2. Ils se marient et s'installent à Paris en 1937. Avec Péret, elle fréquente le groupe surréaliste parisien et se lie d'amitié avec l'artiste peintre anglaise Leonora Carrington. Elle présente plusieurs tableaux à l' Exposition internationale du surréalisme de janvier 1938 et à l' Exposition du rêve dans l'art organisée par Frédéric Delanglade. Sa toile El Deseo (Le Désir) est reproduit dans le numéro 10 de la revue Minotaure.

À la fin de l'année 1940, Remedios Varo et Benjamin Péret retrouvent André Breton et quelques surréalistes réfugiés à Marseille, dans la villa Air-Bel, louée par le journaliste américain Varian Fry, dans l'attente d'un visa de sortie du territoire français. Ils parviennent à quitter la France en 1941 pour le Mexique. Elle y retrouve Lizarraga, Francés, Leonora Carrington, Gordon Onslow-Ford, Wolfgang Paalen et sa femme Alice Rahon. Elle crée des publicités pour la compagnie pharmaceutique Bayer, fait de la décoration, peint des meubles et restaure des céramiques pré-colombiennes.

En 1947, elle se sépare de Benjamin Péret qui rentre en France. Elle expose à la galerie Maeght pour l' Exposition internationale du surréalisme.

Après un voyage au Venezuela où elle participe, avec son frère le docteur Rodrigo Varo, à une expédition entomologique, Remedios Varo rencontre Walter Gruen qui l'encourage à peindre à nouveau. Ils se marient en 1953.

En 1955, la Galería Diana de Mexico organise sa première exposition personnelle. En 1958, la Galería Excelsior organise le premier Salon de la Plastica Femina où sont exposées des œuvres, outre celles de Remedios Varo, de Leonora Carrington et d’Alice Rahon. En 1962, la Galería Juan Martín présente sa deuxième exposition personnelle et elle participe à l'Exposition internationale de Tokyo.

Remedios Varo meurt d'une crise cardiaque. Son dernier tableau Nature morte ressuscitant est la seule œuvre sans aucun personnage.

En 1964, une rétrospective est organisée au Musée des Beaux-Arts de Mexico qui attire plus de 50 000 visiteurs. Dans la revue surréaliste La Brèche, André Breton rend hommage à son œuvre « tout entière » surréaliste : « Remedios, la féminité même, ici en hiéroglyphe le jeu et le feu dans l'œil de l'oiseau. »

En 1938 el líder de los surrealistas franceses André Breton y su esposa, la artista Jacqueline Lamba, visitaron México. Fueron recibidos por la pareja de artistas Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo, y pasaron varios meses viajando, conociendo a innumerables artistas e intelectuales mexicanos.

Breton, Rivera y el comunista disidente León Trotsky colaboraron en el Manifiesto por el Arte Revolucionario Independiente, en donde expresaban repudio contra el ascenso del fascismo.

Pronto, sin embargo, el fascismo demostró ser más que una simple amenaza. Con el estallido de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, México se convirtió en la nueva patria de destacados artistas surrealistas como Leonora Carrington, Wolfgang Paalen, Alice Rahon, Remedios Varo, entre otros. Tras concluir la guerra, Edward James, un poeta, mecenas y amigo de los surrealistas, se estableció en México y poco después concibió el jardín escultórico conocido como "Las Pozas™ en la selva cerca de Xilitla, San Luís Potosí.

Esta exposición ofrece una revisión profunda en torno a los principales temas e ideas afines al movimiento surrealista, así como un diálogo inédito entre el surrealismo europeo y su vertiente mexicana. El Museo Boijmans Van Beuningen ha coleccionado principalmente obras maestras europeas de la primera fase del surrealismo. Muchas de estas piezas provienen de la colección de Edward James y otras han sido adquiridas a lo largo de los años. El resto de las obras en la exposición fueron creadas en México y provienen de diferentes colecciones mexicanas.

Una importante comu idad de mujeres surrealistas se encontró en este país que nutrió su interés por el estudio de la arqueología, antropología y diversas vertientes de ocultismo. Sus creaciones, que transmiten una visión que integra el feminismo, la ecología y la magia, añaden nuevas dimensiones al universo surrealista, al tiempo que abordan el papel fundamental que tuvo México durante la segunda fase del surrealismo.

DESCRIPTION BOOK : The spectacular fourth volume of Picasso's life set in Paris, Normandy, and Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War and WWII.Based on original and exhaustive research from interviews and never-before-seen material in the Picasso family archives, Volume IV describes a wildly productive decade for Picasso: his ongoing involvement with the surrealists Man Ray, Dali, Paul Eluard and Andr? Breton on his Skira-backed magazine Minotaur; summers spent in the south of France at Juan-les-Pins and Mougins with the surrealists and their wives and girlfriends; the making of Minotauromachie; living in Nazi-occupied Paris, labeled a degenerate, prevented from exhibiting his work. During these years, Picasso, at long last, would legally separate from his wife Olga and their son Paulo would be sent to a Swiss clinic for therapy and rehab; Marie-Th?r?se would remain Picasso's mistress, but a stormy relationship with the photographer Dora Maar would be part of the mix, while Alice Paalen and Valentine

NYRB Fall Preview 2020: NYRB Poets

Our fall season includes two bilingual collections of poetry newly translated from the French, by Alice Paalen Rahon and Claire Malroux—both poets who occupy the space between two worlds, be they of language, nation, culture, sexuality, or philosophy.

Alice Paalen Rahon, Alice Paalen Rahon (September)

Alice Paalen Rahon was a shapeshifter: a surrealist poet turned painter who was born French and died a naturalized citizen of Mexico. Bicultural, bisexual, and fiercely independent, her romantic life included affairs with Pablo Picasso and the poet Valentine Penrose. This new selection of Rahon’s poems celebrates the visionary work of a woman who defied easy definition.

Claire Malroux, Daybreak: New and Selected Poems (October)

Claire Malroux holds a unique place in contemporary French poetry, with influences from both the French and Anglophone traditions—especially the work of Emily Dickinson. Her subtle, intimate poems move between an intense, abstract interiority and an acute engagement with the material world. This new volume is a bilingual selection by the award-winning poet and translator Marilyn Hacker.

I am very fortunate to receive on occasions review copies of NYRB releases; often these are specific titles I’ve asked for, sometimes they’ve been offered, occasionally they’ll be NYRB Originals rather than Classics. However, NYRB poetry titles have been appearing, which is very exciting and also something of a voyage of discovery! I did request “Magnetic Fields“, which was an excellent…
