Remedios Varo: Science Fictions
Le prix d'expédition sera calculé au moment du paiement.
Remedios Varo’s extraordinary paintings bring intricate craft into conversation with alchemy, architecture, mysticism and science. Science Fictions explores the work she made after settling in Mexico City, asking how her wide-ranging interests became the richly constructed narratives of her art.
Edited by Caitlin Haskell and Tere Arcq, the catalogue examines both Varo’s intellectual world and her working methods. Essays discuss the stories and surfaces of individual paintings, while an illustrated account of techniques considers automatic mark making and the careful handling of materials. An illustrated inventory of a major portion of her library offers another route into the ideas she explored.
This 184-page hardback will appeal to readers who want to understand how Varo’s images were made as well as what they suggest. It is a particularly engaging choice for admirers of Surrealism, mysterious interiors and transformations that appear governed by their own elaborate logic. The combination of material and historical perspectives rewards slow, attentive reading.
