Krátky popis
The Militant Muse&,nbsp,documents what it meant to be young,
ambitious and female in the context of an avant-garde movement
defined by celebrated men whose educational, philosophical and
literary backgrounds were often quite different from those of their
younger lovers and companions. Focusing on the 1930s, 1940s and
1950s, Whitney Chadwick charts five intense, far-reaching female
friendships among the Surrealists to show how Surrealism, female
friendship and the experiences of war, loss and trauma shaped
individual women’s transitions from beloved muses to mature
artists. Her vivid account includes the fascinating story of Claude
Cahun and Suzanne Malherbe’s subversive activities in occupied
Jersey, as well as the experiences of Lee Miller and Valentine
Penrose at the frontline. Chadwick draws on personal correspondence
between women, including the extraordinary letters between Leonora
Carrington and Leonor Fini during the months following the arrest
and imprisonment of Carrington’s lover Max Ernst at the beginning
of World War Two, and the letter Frida Kahlo shared with her friend
and lover Jacqueline Lamba years after it was written in the late
1930s during a difficult stay in Paris, marred by her intense
dislike of Breton.&,nbsp,Thoroughly engrossing, this history
brings a new perspective to the political context of Surrealism, as
well as fresh insights on the vital importance of female friendship
to its artistic and intellectual flowering.Table of
