Louisiana Revue – Amazing Women
Choose options

In no other artistic avant-garde movement did women play such an important role and appear in such large numbers as in Surrealism. But while the male protagonists of Surrealism, René Magritte, Salvador Dali, Joan Miró and Max Ernst to name just the most famous, have achieved great attention, few today have a wider knowledge of the female Surrealists.

When the Surrealist movement emerged in 1920s Paris, all official members were men. Many female artists were part of the inner circle – not only as partners, muses and models, but as active performing artists.
This richly illustrated catalogue, published in the Louisiana Revy series for the exhibition Fantastic Women, tells the story of the large group of female artists, all of whom, with their distinctive features, have contributed to expanding the movement's visual universe, but who have been forgotten when art history was to be written.
Texts by Ingrid Pfeiffer and Tere Arqc as well as 30 artist biographies.
