Call for abstracts for a new volume titled ‘A Surrealist Eye: New essays on the art of Lee Miller’, which aims to validate Miller’s position as an important & influential 20th Century female Surrealist artist. Abstracts of 500 words & short bio to [email protected] by 10 July.
@TheDebutante_ For so long I have sought the recognition of these women. Receiving this was a special moment and I am excited to celebrate everything inside. Please have a look at this new journal!
Poughkeepsie train station. The town Lee Miller grew up in. The sign about the walkway to the platforms has been there since the days she was a child there. The station also still has some of the old features too. #leemiller#poughkeepsie
Tonight we open Leonora's World, a Living Art Spectacle that invites the audience to journey through the mysterious, magical, whimsical paintings of Leonora Carrington.
Here are a couple of photos from the creation process taken by Kim Chin-Gibbons.
We love hearing from contemporary surrealists who are adapting the movement for 2019. Radical practitioners are needed to offset this dystopia...
Thank you to Alexander Romanovich, author of 'The Keeping of Lights', for pledging your support to #TheDebutante 🖤 @ListeningColors
stirred from the yellow drifts of flax / they whistle off softly through the sky / like an unbroken sequence of moths / then return to their bright retreats / shedding a dry green light / their strange animation / enflamed with the warm shadows of the moon
