Review Quotes
Choice
"Stunningly illustrated to reveal the ways in which writing, drawing, painting, photography, collage, and related media drew on the subconscious, dreams, chance, metamorphosis, literature, and spiritual beliefs to shed light on the artists and on the politics of the day, Fantastic Women shows women celebrating subversion as active participants of surrealism as the movement spanned Europe and North and Central America. Thoroughly researched and beautifully presented with ample photographs and artist biographies, the catalogue is a stunning accomplishment and an invaluable addition to scholarship. It will be of interest to scholars of women and gender studies and cultural studies, as well as those researching surrealism, the avant-garde, and early 20th-century art history."
