Description
Eileen Agar: A Life of Artistic Innovation This comprehensive monograph offers the first full account of Eileen Agar's complete works, synthesizing elements of cubism and surrealism. Through archival research and personal conversations with Agar, Michel Remy explores her 80-year career, tracing her passage through artistic movements and revealing the powerful myth-making drive that compelled her. The book showcases striking images of Agar's works and rare photographs of her life, highlighting her essential qualities and subjects: tenderness, humor, poetry, love of nature, subversion of reality, and celebration of femininity. A fresh and cogent account of a fascinating artist, this volume demonstrates the significant role that women artists played in the story of surrealism. With its rich exploration of Agar's life and work, this book provides a valuable insight into the life and art of an important figure in 20th-century art history.
