Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The article Alice Rahon. Surrealist journey to discover the marvelous presents the biography and production of the artist and poet Alice Rahon (1904, Chenecey-Buillon, France-1987, Mexico City, Mexico). Describing her life, passions, meetings, formal and ideological choices, the text retraces the most significant stages of her identity as an artist. Alice Rahon, still little known today, brought important innovations to the art world, such as the sgraffito technique, an innovative practice that consisted of scratching the surface of paintings to reveal the lower layer of contrasting color. The strong suggestions received from the places she visited (Spain, India, Mexico) and the encounter with Surrealism guided her on a long journey to discover the marvelous.
