Description
This pioneering book stands as the most comprehensive treatment of the lives, ideas and artworks of the remarkable group of women who were an essential part of the Surrealist movement. Frida Kahlo, Meret Oppenheim and Dorothea Tanning, among many others, became an embodiment of their age as they struggled towards artistic maturity and their own 'liberation of the spirit' in the context of the Surrealist revolution.
Their stories and their achievements are presented here against the background of the turbulent decades of the 1920s, 30s and 40s, and the war that forced Surrealism into exile in New York and Mexico.
Women Artists and the Surrealist Movement includes 145 illustrations in colour, providing a vivid visual context to the text.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Critically acclaimed for its depth and insight, the book is praised for illuminating the achievements of women artists who earned respect alongside their male peers. The Oxford Art Journal highlights its value in reassessing Surrealism's history and addressing the marginalisation of women’s art. The Times Higher Education Supplement credits Chadwick with vital re-centring of the Surrealist narrative. It has also been described as 'admirable' by Burlington Magazine and 'a classic' by ArtNews.
