Born in 1908, Anglés Cataluña Spain. Died 1963, Mexico City.
Varo and her French husband, Benjamin Péret, escaped the nazi  
occupation of France by moving to Mexico City in 1942. It was 
in Mexico that she painted many of her finest works.

Varo is acknowledged as one of the great surrealist painters, 
although she is relatively unknown. Her paintings are dreamlike 
and filled with symbolism.

Like to see more of Remedios Varo?
Professor Lucila Mena's  excellent
Spanish Art Page
has the best collection of Varo's work
I've seen on the 'net
(and some other nice stuff! Enjoy!)
