Remedios Varo (Spanish, 1908-1963) El Gato Helecho {The Fern Cat], 1957 oil on canvas, 75×32 cm

Double Portrait with Hat, series of portrait photomontages, Dora Maar, c. 1930s

"To produce this complex image, Maar sandwiched together two negatives of the same model, one frontal and one profile, scavenged from a magazine assignment on springtime hats, and painted the background and hat (or decomposing halo?) onto the negative. Softening the emulsion, she scraped and lifted it off, techniques that involve destruction and suggest disintegration."

Rheumatic Pain I, 1948, Remedios Varo.

"I didn't have time to be anybody's muse; I was too busy rebelling against my parents and learning to be an artist."
