Playing with a new views on sex and gender is a topic for many of the artists. While Leonor Fini exchanges the roles, Meret Oppenheim breaks up the borders into an androgyny of body and mind. Both women were close to the surrealists, but never submitted to their dogma. Still, Oppenheimer's 'Fur Cup' became a poster child of the movement and one of its first objects purchased by the MoMA in New York.

After a longer break I reached again for this catalogue and read the article on Claude Cahun. Born as Lucy Renée Schwob, she openly lived her non-binary sexual identity and had an enormous artictical breadth including literature, photography, collages, performance. And she fought against the Nazi occupation, who destroyed part of her work and almost killed her.

Ingrid Pfeiffer, curator of the exhibition, introduces in her article the rich and diverse œuvre of female artists, who were part of or close to surrealism. It contrasts the theory heavy male protagonists to the creativity of women, who became the subjects of art. The article is followed by "cadavres exquis" joint works of the group around writer and philosopher André Breton.

Having visited this fantastic (in duplicate sense) exhibition I could not abstain from buying the catalog in order to have these pictures and other objects of art with me for continued immersion.
