The latest instalment of my newsletter is for paying subscribers only (a girls gotta eat, after all). The subject will come as no surprise if you know me — I wrote about Surrealism in/& Hollywood: Women Artists, Surrealism, and Hollywood. Please read and share and if you don’t want to pay, maybe read the free posts and subscribe to them! Or tip me on Ko-Fi — whatever!
“Often I pretended to a cameraman to know less than I did. That way I got more cooperation.” Happy Birthday, Ida Lupino! Writer, director, producer, & star!
Surrealism inspired photo-series by Scotty Welbourne (1941).
Some of you know about my Substack newsletter, and I am very grateful for those of you who read my sporadic updates. In a bid to be more regular, I recently (as in December 2021) activated the membership option. It’s basically Patreon, but not Patreon (is Patreon preferred? Let me know if so). This will enable me to keep the newsletter free, while enabling me to fund my research. The first piece is on Maar and Oppenheim’s (Em)body(ing) Art. More to follow shortly!
“All Picasso’s portraits of me are lies. They’re all Picassos. Not one is Dora Maar.”
Happy Birthday to the brilliant Dora Maar 🖤🐚
A titan of rock photography, the great Mick Rock, has passed away. He captured so many iconic images of my favourite musicians over the years. Here of some favourites of Debbie Harry. R.I.P. Mick.
New newsletter is out! I wrote about Muriel Streeter and female Surrealist artistic solidarity. It’s free to read (for now anyway), so please sign up and share!
Happy Halloween to all. Here’s a rebump of my article on Dennis Stock’s incredible photos of the wonderful Maila Nurmi, aka Vampira, for Magnum photos:
