Remedios Varo: A collection of 103 paintings (HD)
Description: "Remedios Varo, original name in full María de los Remedios Alicia Rodriga Varo y Uranga (born December 16, 1908, Anglès, Girona, Spain-died October 8, 1963, Mexico City, Mexico) Spanish-Mexican artist who played an integral role in the Mexico City-based Surrealist movement. She is known for her enigmatic paintings of androgynous beings engaged in magic arts or the occult.
Varo was raised in a well-educated family. Her father, a hydraulics engineer, taught her technical drawing when she was young. His job required frequent travel, and the family traveled throughout Spain and North Africa before settling in Madrid in 1917. In Madrid she attended Catholic school and then pursued art at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid, graduating in 1930 with a degree to teach drawing. In the mid-1930s, while living in Barcelona, Varo began to involve herself in Surrealism and joined the avant-garde artists’ group Logicophobista. In 1936 she met Surrealist poet Benjamin Péret, with whom she fled Spain for Paris and whom she married in 1937. They were soon absorbed into the activities of the Surrealist movement there, and Varo exhibited with the group and published drawings in Surrealist publications.
In late 1941 the couple fled again, this time to Mexico to escape Nazi-occupied France. In Mexico City they connected with locals, such as writer Octavio Paz, as well as other exiled artists and writers, among them Wolfgang Paalen, Gordon Onslow Ford, and Leonora Carrington, who became Varo’s closest friend. Varo’s first pursuits in Mexico City were in commercial art, interior and costume design, and restoration of pre-Columbian pottery. She began to devote her time entirely to painting only in 1953, by which time she had separated from Péret and was romantically involved with Austrian businessman Walter Gruen, who supported her painting activity. In large part, her paintings are populated with strange humans engaged in mystical and alchemical activity in dreamlike atmospheres. Her compositions also include architectural features that make direct reference to medieval art and show her expert draftsmanship. She was an admirer of Hiëronymus Bosch, whose mysterious compositions undoubtedly influenced her. She had a well-received first solo exhibition in Mexico City in 1956 and continued to exhibit thereafter. Varo created the bulk of her work in the last 10 years of her life. She died of a heart attack at age 54."

I love her art so much. And she was a fascinating person. The first time I saw one of her paintings, I had never heard of her or seen any of her work, and it seemed to reach out and literally draw me in from across the room. I've never had art move me like hers does. She paints like I dream.

@Allison Werth That’s very similar to the way I felt on seeing Leonora Carrington’s work for the first time. I’m glad to learn that they were contemporaries, two of “the three witches.”

What a Gift!! I mean, hers, and your gift of this video to us!🌈
Remedios Varo, a greater artist than almost all the famous blokes out there. Just wow!
Zoé Valdés, quien escribió un libro basada en la vida de Remedios Varo, dice que cada cuadra de esta artista es una novela. Cómo decir que no, si cada imagen de esta extraordinaria mujer es un sueño, una visión de los arcanos, una visita a mundos desconocidos. Gracias por el documental y gracias por la hermosa música que lo acompaña.
I love all about Remedios Varo, Leonora Carrington, Vladimir Kush... beautifull...

The description is wrong, this artist is Spanish and nothing more, she only spent the last years of her life in Mexico and didn't even acquire Mexican nationality.
Love this! She is such an amazing artist and deserving of more coverage. Check out a similar video on Remedios Varo here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mWlnlLOCaMapfag.html
