Description
Remedios Varo's collected writings offer a unique glimpse into the mind of a Surrealist painter. This expanded edition brings together previously unpublished texts, including pieces never seen in any language before. Varo's writing shares the same qualities as her visual work: an exploration of mysticism and magic, a blurring of the lines between reality and the marvelous, and a fascination with escape in all its forms. The collection includes Varo's longest manuscript, "On Homo rodans", an absurdist study of the origins of the first umbrella. This essay is accompanied by other writings, such as unpublished interview, letters to friends, dream accounts, notes for unrealized projects, and prose-poem commentaries on her paintings. Three short stories are also included, making this a valuable addition to any collection of Surrealist literature. Varo's writing style is characterized by eccentricity and playfulness, reflecting her background in art and philosophy. This edition provides a rare insight into the mind of a pioneering artist, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of art, magic, and reality.
