Remedios Varo: Science Fictions

Beautiful book showcasing Varo's art and her life, from Spain and France to Mexico. Varo was mainly a surrealist, interested in themes like alchemy, esoterism, science and psychology and influenced by George Gurdjieff, a Russian mystic and philosopher. 

Most of her important works picture strange characters travelling, playing music, working or just staring at you. Varo also included strange esoteric (and other kinds) symbols. The book helps the readers to identify and understand them. There are also explanations of the techniques the artist used. The art, I think, is exquisite and thought-provoking.
