Her father was an engineer in Spain, she watched him draw blueprints and schematics...she immersed herself in the studies of Alchemy, Astronomy, Astrololgy, the Occult and ALL religious ties that bind all within the Living Universe.<br /><br />There was recently an exhibition in San Francisco of her works...which 300 were created before she died at 54. CELESTIAL PABLUM, has been my favorite for years, the Moon represents her miscarried child within the cage of her mind and she feeds it by spoon the crushed Stars of Hope.<br /><br />She loved birds for they are symbols of the SoulThe Swanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159724663060240920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-58096363830186212082012-04-11T15:03:03.979-07:002012-04-11T15:03:03.979-07:00Amazing pieces!

I am drawn to the Varo pieces and adore Streeter's "The Chess Queens". I enjoy art I can spend time with, dissect and create a story. Many of these painting would be perfect. Thanks for sharing.

And it made sense that the women felt freer once they left Europe and went to Mexico and the U.S. The show is so good, and I agree with Kathy that it should be seen twice!

You just can't take it all in the first time. And it is a big show, I was surprised each time I discovered a new room. I bought the book also, and it is so interesting.Sunday Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148090705938196599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-33195461542417859012012-04-11T10:56:16.175-07:002012-04-11T10:56:16.175-07:00Loved the exhibit too!

Any of your readers who hasn't seen this show- and after your spotlight- I don't know how they could stop themselves, should run to LACMA.<br />It's really a revelation. The show is so provocative, intense, and visually stunning. These women take us on a wonderful, deep journey within. It's also exciting to see the them in context of the better known male hegemony that ruled Surrealism in the popular mind. Thanks for a great post. I'm going right back to see it again.A Husk of Meaninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08498885051459372507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-80999434046449773902012-04-11T07:58:46.546-07:002012-04-11T07:58:46.546-07:00Marvelous!

Such powerful and courageous women. Thanks for the post and giving people not in LA a chance to experience it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
