| Summary |
Diagnosed with schizophrenia in the 1950s, German writer and artist Unica Z̈ürn produced a wealth of remarkable textual and visual material within psychiatric institutions across Germany and France. While Zürn is often discussed in relation to her partner, the controversial artist Hans Bellmer, this innovative book, the first to discuss her in English, moves beyond the familiar model of the overlooked 'significant other' and re-introduces her as a member of the French Surrealist group |
