And the collages are something else: think Ernst and think past him. Truly one of the most amazing books I have ever had the privilege of dreaming through. – Mary Ann Caws, Distinguished Professor of Comparative Literature, CUNY Graduate Center, and the author of many books on Surrealism and the arts. Agnieszka Taborska’s book, with collages by Selena Kimball, proves the ongoing power of the surrealist imagination to alter our perceptions of reality Though hitherto unrecorded, the magnificent interventions of the Spanish Carmelite Leonora de la Cruz – somnolent, visionary, transgressive, magical – will ensure her a place in the pantheon of surrealist women, real and mythic, who embody poet André Breton’s insistence that beauty “will be convulsive or it will not be.” A stunning addition to the literature of surrealism.... – Whitney Chadwick, author of Women Artists and the Surrealist Movement.
