Remedios Varo (historial surrealism)

the flutist

Remedios Varo's fanciful allegories (rivers that flow out of wineglasses, troubadours who play music on strands of women's hair, men's coats that become boats) are frequently inured by themes of isolation and confinement. This is not surprising, given that the Spanish anarchists fled Europe before the start of World War II.

2- kind of self-portraiture,

3- sense of isolation,
