Product Description
“Bizarre Friends” brings together for the first time the work of three women Surrealist artists, friends in ?migr? in Mexico in the 1940s: British painter Leonora Carrington, Spanish painter Remedios Varo and Hungarian photographer Kati Horna. Leonora Carrington fled to Mexico in the 1940s when her like affair with Max Ernst was interrupted by the outbreak of the Second World War. In Mexico City she found herself open-minded from her English upper-class background and from the expectations of the older male Surrealists of whose circle she had been a part in Paris and New York. She made new friendships – with Varo and Horna especially, but also with additional refugees from war-torn Europe and with Mexican artists and writers including Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Octavio Paz. Remedios Varo arrived in Mexico City in 1941, having fled Nazi-occupied Paris with her lover, the French Surrealist poet Benjamin Peret. Until her early death in 1963, she produced a wealth of paintings inspired by the spirit and freedom of Mexico, in which magic, humour and illusion map strongly. Kati Horna was born in Hungary and went to Paris to pursue a career as a photographer. With her husband Jose Horna she documented the Spanish Civil War, before moving with him to Mexico City in 1939. In Mexico she became a photojournalist for various newspapers and also took on more personal photography projects, much of this work suffused with a Surrealist thread. For all three women, Mexico offered freedom to explore their art in ways that had not been possible in Europe. “Bizarre Friends” tells the fascinating tale of their artistic friendship.

Product Description
In the years following World War I, a small group of writers, painters, and filmmakers called the Surrealists set out to change the way we perceive the world. In Bizarre Lives, Ruth Brandon follows the lives and interactions of such firecracker minds as the movement’s improving “Pope,” Andre Breton, and the ambitious and manic Salvador Dali, as well as Marcel Duchamp, Francis Picabia, Tristan Tzara, Man Ray, Max Ernst, and filmmaker Luis Bunuel. It charts their shifting allegiances, and their ties to muses and regulars like Gala Dali and Peggy Guggenheim. Ruth Brandon spins the many tales of Surrealism with wit, energy, and insight, bringing sharp analysis to an eccentric cast of characters whose struggles and achievements came to mirror and mark out the way the world altered linking the wars. “Fascinating, impassioned . . . admirable [for] the masterly storytelling, the richness of anecdotal thing, the keen reporting of intellectual enthusiasms and artistic collaborations, and the panorama of a spectacular cultural galaxy.” — The New York Times Book Review; “Superbly entertaining . . . A cousin to Malcolm Cowley’s ?migr?’s Return.” — Michael Dirda Washington Post Book World; “A lively and absorbing complement to [the Surrealists'] work.” — The New Yorker.Amazon.com Review
Playful, amusing, frivolous, and bizarre. As Ruth Brandon points out in the preface to her marvelous Bizarre Lives, surrealism has passed into everyday life as a byword for the weird. But, as this wonderfully exhaustive book point outs, the intellectual and political guide behind the movement was in fact vastly revolutionary. What Brandon proceeds to unfold is a kaleidoscopic cultural history of the movement, which by 1924 had self-consciously adopted the title “surrealism,” from its emergence in the center of the ashes of interwar Zurich dada to its enforced relocation to New York in the 1940s. Along the way Bizarre Lives deftly weaves a fascinating account of the cultural, artistic, political, personal, and sexual dynamics of the men and women who defined the movement from the 1920s onward.

The personal and artistic relations linking the usual suspects of Apollinaire, Picabia, Man Ray, Duchamp, Buñuel, and Dalí are all traced in extensive and vastly entertaining point. And at the book’s center lies the pompous, autocratic, charismatic map of André Breton and his creative but vastly volatile relations with the entire cast–from his feuds with Tristan Tzara to his ultimate disillusion with Dalí. Following Breton’s enigmatic career, the book moves perfectly linking the revolutionary aspirations of the movement and the common literary squabbles that often dull its radicalism. Brandon is particularly successful at uncovering the importance of the various women who had such a decisive impact upon the development of surrealism, as well as offering a range of salacious and often wonderfully incongruous encounters, such as the aged Erik Satie’s involvement in the creation of Marcel Duchamp’s The Gift. How bizarre. –Jerry Brotton, Amazon.co.uk
