Natalya Lusty

Surrealism, Feminism, Psychoanalysis

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Combining historical and cultural methods of analysis with sophisticated theoretical discussions, Natalya Lusty explores how women artists and intellectuals responded to the appropriation of 'the feminine' in Surrealism and psychoanalysis. Reading work by Leonora Carrington, Claude Cahun, Joan Riviere and Cindy Sherman in the contexts of canonical figures such as Georges Bataille, Jacques Lacan and the Surrealist photographer Hans Bellmer, the book illuminates the paradox of feminine presence within these movements.
