An illustrated biography of the pioneering British artist and writer, tracing her life and work through the many places around the world where she livedThe British-born artist and writer Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) is one of the vanguards in the history of women artists and the history of Surrealism. The interests of this visionary-feminism, ecology, the arcane and the mystical, the interconnectedness of everything-are now shared by many. Challenging the conventions of her time, Carrington abandoned family, society, and England to embrace new experiences and forge a unique artistic style in Europe and the Americas. In this evocative illustrated biography, writer and journalist Joanna Moorhead traces her cousin's footsteps, exploring the artist's life, loves, friendships, and work.Leading readers on a personal journey across Britain, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the United States, and Mexico, Surreal Spaces describes the places and experiences that would become etched in Carrington's memory and be echoed, sometimes decades later, in her art and writing-whether her grandmother's kitchen with its giant stove; a remote Cornish hideaway where she holidayed with Max Ernst, Lee Miller, and Man Ray; the Left Bank of Paris; an asylum in Santander, Spain; New York, where she lived among other European exiles; or Mexico City, her final sanctuary. "Houses are really bodies," Carrington wrote in her novella The Hearing Trumpet. "We connect ourselves with walls, roofs and objects just as we hang on to our livers, skeletons, flesh and blood streams."Featuring photographs, drawings, and paintings of the spaces that so richly influenced Carrington's work, Surreal Spaces is an intimate and vivid portrait of a fascinating artist.

"First published in France in 2016, Being Here Is So Much traces the short, obscure, and prolific life of the German expressionist painter Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907). In a brief career, cut short by her death from an embolism at the age of thirty-one, shortly after she gave birth to a child, Modersohn-Becker trained in Germany, traveled often to Paris, developed close friendships with the sculptor Clara Westhoff and the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, and became one of her generation's preeminent artists, helping introduce modernity to the twentieth century alongside such other painters as Picasso and Matisse. Marie Darrieussecq's triumphant and illuminating biography at once revives Modersohn-Becker's reputation as a significant figure in modernism and sheds light on the extreme difficulty women have faced in attaining recognition and establishing artistic careers"--Provided by publisher.

Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876?1907) war eine der großen, singulären Künstlerpersönlichkeiten der Moderne. Mutig ging sie, allein auf sich gestellt, ihren Weg ? lernte Paris und seine Kunst kennen und wurde mit ihren intensiven und ausdrucksstarken Bildern zu einer Wegbereiterin der deutschen Avantgarde. 0Entschlossen, allen Widerständen zum Trotz und voller Leidenschaft verfolgte Paula Becker Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts ihr Ziel, Malerin zu werden. Inspiration fand sie zunächst in der Künstlerkolonie Worpswede, wo sie ihren späteren Mann Otto Modersohn kennenlernte. Ihr künstlerischer Dreh- und Angelpunkt aber war Paris, die damalige Weltstadt der Kunst. In mehreren anregenden Aufenthalten lernte sie dort die aktuelle französische Malerei kennen. Uwe M. Schneede, einer der besten Kenner von Paula Modersohn-Beckers Werk, zeigt in seiner umfassenden Monographie, wie die Künstlerin diese wichtigen Eindrücke in eine eigene Bildsprache umsetzte. Als sie 1907 im Alter von nur 31 Jahren starb, hatte sie mit ihrem bedeutenden Œuvre die kurze Epoche zwischen dem Alten und dem Neuen, dem 19. und dem 20. Jahrhundert, künstlerisch wesentlich geprägt und den deutschen Avantgarden den Weg geebnet.
