Some lives are so painful. I shudder when I hear the name Unica Zürn. Her life was not a bundle of warm joy but more of a gothic horror story than anything else. A brilliant artist and writer, but covered in the cloak of pure misery, and being a woman in that social setting of the arts in the 20th century - is not that hopeful or beneficial to her fragile state of mind. Yet, she did remarkable works of art.
I’m familiar with Bellmer and his strange and twisted dolls. Also his beautiful drawings that are so delicate. Almost like spider webs. Probably an apt analogy. I didn’t know as much about her. Thanks for filling in the painful blanks.
Thanks Tosh,
