“Remedios Varo, The Mexican Work.”

The Spanish painter Remedios Varo spent the years of 1941-1963 in exile in Mexico. It is here that she produced her most inventive work, a fusing of various European and indigenous influences and motifs, generating a new form of Surrealism that would come to be regarded as a seminal contribution to Latin American modernist practice and particularly important to the development of Mexican Surrealism.
