Requests:  0 Summary:  Desperate to escape the Nazis, painter Remedios Varo and her lover, poet Benjamin Peret, flee Paris for Villa Air Bel, a safe house for artists on the Riviera. Along with Max Ernst, Peggy Guggenheim, and others, the two anxiously wait for exit papers. As the months pass, Remedios begins to sense that the others don't see her as a fellow artist; they have cast her in the stifling role of a surrealist ideal: the beautiful innocent. She finds a refuge in a mysterious bookshop, where she stumbles into a world of occult learning and intensifies an esoteric practice in the tarot that helps her light the bright fire of her creative genius. When travel documents come through, Remedios and Benjamin flee to Mexico where she is reunited with friend and fellow painter Leonora Carrington. Together, the women tap their creativity, stake their independence, and each find their true loves. But it is the tarot that enables them to access the transcendent that lies on the other side of consciousness, to become the truest Surrealists of all.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction McMillan Checked out 06/05/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction McMillan Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books McMillan Checked out 06/12/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction McMillan Checked out 06/07/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction McMillan Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult New Books McMillan Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction McMillan Checked out 06/13/2024 Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Fiction McMillan Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   On Order   Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Fiction McMillan Checked out 06/08/2024 Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
