Synopsis of Farewell to the Muse
Un fascinante análisis de las ambiciones y amistades de un talentoso grupo de mujeres artistas de mediados de siglo. 'Farewell to the Muse' documenta lo que significaba ser joven, ambiciosa y mujer en el contexto de un movimiento de vanguardia definido por hombres célebres cuyos orígenes a menudo eran bastante diferentes de los de sus jóvenes amantes y compañeras. Centrándose en las décadas de 1930, 1940 y 1950, Whitney Chadwick traza cinco amistades femeninas entre los surrealistas para mostrar cómo el surrealismo, la amistad femenina y las experiencias de la guerra, la pérdida y el trauma moldearon las transiciones de las mujeres individuales de musas de otros a artistas maduras por derecho propio. Su vívido relato incluye la fascinante historia de Claude Cahun y Suzanne Malherbe en la Jersey ocupada, así como las experiencias de Lee Miller y Valentine Penrose en el frente.
