EILEEN AGAR & HALINA POSWIATOWSKA

me construí una gran cruz negra

y ardí en el fuego del amor

.

en vano Bizancio

se retorcía sus flácidos dedos 

.

las aureolas de los mártires rodaron por el cielo

.

una llama iluminó a la tierra

la gente miraba inquisitivamente

hacia la estrella Venus

.

creía entender

Colleagues in the invertebrate department of the Natural History Museum were contacted to identify the marine life used to decorate the hat and to give an idea of where some of these may have been collected. It was known that Eileen Agar visited the south of France and other areas along the Mediterranean coast and also that the cork had been picked up in St Tropez. It was thought that some of the marine life may also have been of Mediterranean origin. It was not possible to identify all the species of marine life found on the hat, but listed below are those that could be named. Where possible, their geographical distribution is given, showing that some of them were likely to have been collected in the south of France along the Mediterranean coastline.

Mytilus edulis (edible mussel), worldwide distribution Neptunea despecta (Neptune's whelk), Arctic seas Callista cf chione (smooth callista), English Channel to Mediterranean Cerithium vulgatum (common cerith), Mediterranean Venerupis pullastra (carpet shell), Norway to North Africa Asterias sp.(red starfish) Ophioderma sp. (brittle star).

The fish bone was identified as from Solea solea, the common sole found around the British and Norwegian coasts and in the Mediterranean. Quercus suber (the cork oak) is also a native tree of the Mediterranean region. Platanus hybrida (the London plane) is a garden hybrid. It is not found in the wild but is grown throughout Europe. However, it is said not to fare well in the extreme north or south 2 . The piece of plane tree bark used on the hat to support the fish bone may therefore not have been collected in the South of France and would seem from the evidence already discussed not to be part of the original form of the hat.

Eileen in Wonderland

Eileen Agar, Erotic Landscape, 1942, collage on paper

“In an undated note bequeathed to the Tate Archive in 1992, Eileen Agar (1899–1991) writes of her admiration for the author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: ‘Lewis Carroll is a mysterious master of time and imagination, the Herald of Sur-Realism and freedom, a prophet of the Future and an uprooter of the Past, with a literary and visual sense of the Present.’ The same could be said of Agar, whose long career as an artist spanned most of the twentieth century and intersected with some of the prevailing movements of the time, including Cubism and surrealism. Her timeless work—including the oil painting Alice with Lewis Carroll—will be on view through August 29 at the Whitechapel Gallery’s ‘Eileen Agar: Angel of Anarchy,’ the largest exhibition yet of the sui generis artist’s oeuvre. A selection of images from the show appears below. ...”

Eileen Agar

Eileen Agar was instrumental in the spread of Surrealism from France to Britain in the 1930s. She was the only woman to be represented in the 1936 International Surrealist Exhibition in London. Agar used the Surrealist emphasis on imaginative freedom to envision worlds where gender boundaries were fluid, and where the realities of patriarchal society were less rigorously enforced. With works such as “Ceremonial Hat For Eating Bouillabaisse”, as shown to the right, Agar brought Surrealist sensibilities to the world of fashion design, just as Salvador Dalí had done with jewelry and theater costumes.

"'Eileen Agar' (1899-1991) remains the most under-represented of all British surrealists. She painted scenes of indelible strangeness, constructed collages out of wallpaper, foliage and lino, fashioned ceremonial hats – including one to wear when eating bouillabaisse, made from an upturned cork basket stuck with crustacean shells. A hilarious fragment of Pathé newsreel shows Agar sporting her art hat through London to the slack-jawed bemusement of every passerby…" Read an excellent review by @lauracummingart of the forthcoming Agar show @whitechapelgallery — with exhibition catalog published with four different covers releasing June 29, 2021 — @guardian⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Read the full review via linkinbio.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #eileenagar #surrealism #womansurrealist #femalesurrealist https://www.instagram.com/p/COss6_UJONL/?igshid=d3ptp4v1bsv1
