■内容简介——

超现实主义先驱艺术家艾琳·阿加尔（Eileen Agar）绝版长篇自传的精美新版。

无论是在巴黎的屋顶上跳舞，与巴勃罗·毕加索分享想法，还是在康沃尔郡的海滩上收集海星，艾琳·琼脂都将日常生活变得非凡。 她作为超现实主义运动先驱人物的遗产已经牢固确立，她的作品继续以其美丽和想象力吸引着观众。

阿加尔的生活与她的艺术一样非凡。 在《审视我的生活》中，她追溯了自己从阿根廷出生到 20 世纪 80 年代末的生活。 她亲密地描述了截然不同的世界：年轻女孩时在布宜诺斯艾利斯和贝尔格莱维亚举行的盛大家庭聚会，后来被伦敦和巴黎的波西米亚生活所取代，以及与她的终身伴侣匈牙利作家约瑟夫·巴德的逍遥生活。 她与同时代的保罗·纳什、埃兹拉·庞德、伊芙琳·沃、格特鲁德·赫尔墨斯和亨利·摩尔有着丰富的友谊，而在法国南部与毕加索、李·米勒和曼·雷一起度过的夏天也产生了持久的影响。 琼脂将他们和许多其他人引入她的艺术发展的叙述中；重要的是，琼脂自身坚定不移的韧性、富有感染力的能量和动力渗透在这本引人入胜的回忆录中。

这本更新后的自传将她的作品带入了生活，充满了活力和多样性，其中包括阿加尔个人精选的家人、朋友和恋人的照片，以及跨越她一生工作的五十多幅拼贴画、绘画和组合的彩色插图。

A beautiful new edition of the long out-of-print autobiography of the pioneering Surrealist artist Eileen Agar.

Whether dancing on the rooftops in Paris, sharing ideas with Pablo Picasso, or gathering starfish on the beaches of Cornwall, Eileen Agar transformed the everyday into the extraordinary. Her legacy as a pioneering figure in the surrealist movement is firmly established, and her work continues to captivate audiences with its otherworldly beauty and imaginative power.

Agar’s life was no less extraordinary than her art. In A Look at My Life, she traces her life from her birth in Argentina to the late 1980s. She gives an intimate account of very different worlds: grand house parties in Buenos Aires and Belgravia as a young girl give way to la vie boheme in London and Paris and a peripatetic existence with her lifelong partner, Hungarian writer Joseph Bard. She enjoyed enriching friendships with contemporaries Paul Nash, Ezra Pound, Evelyn Waugh, Gertrude Hermes, and Henry Moore, while a summer spent in the South of France with Picasso, Lee Miller, and Man Ray had a lasting impact. Agar introduces them and many others into the narrative of her artistic development; above all, it is Agar’s own unwavering resilience, infectious energy, and drive that permeates this compelling memoir.

Bringing her work to life in all its vibrancy and variety, this updated autobiography is populated with Agar’s personal selection of photographs of family, friends, and lovers alongside over fifty color illustrations of collages, paintings, and assemblages spanning her life’s work.
