Quote:
In this innovative and kaleidoscopic work, Rudick brings to life the irrepressible
vitality of French-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle (1930–2002) by letting
her subject speak for herself. Rather than present a monograph of her work,
Rudick offers readers a fascinating “sensorial” trip (“free of commentary”)
into Saint Phalle’s mind via an assemblage of her prolific art, writings, and
“lousy little scribbles.” Together they snake their way through her life in
New York and Europe, highlighting the influences that inspired her “buoyant[ly]”
provocative paintings and sculptures. The narrative is arresting, as is Saint Phalle’s
sardonic charm: she writes of her first feminist pangs as a young girl,
her marriage to writer Harry Mathews, and a visit to a psychiatric ward that
“was good... because I left a painter,” and candidly muses on the often volatile
desire that fueled her craft (of her Tarot Garden in Italy, she remarks,
“If I had not concretized my dreams into sculptures, I might have become possessed”).
Both nightmarish and whimsical, the sketches displayed throughout offer
titillating context to her most notorious works, among them 1966’s HON,
a giant pagan goddess sculpture in Stockholm that was to be “entered by her sex”
(“Wicked tongues said she was the biggest whore in the world”).
This wondrous work does justice to a boundless artist.

I'm getting rid of about half of my book collection and breaking up my bookshelf. Just giving to my parent's store, they already have a book section.

I started reading this, I don’t have as much time as I’d like to get through it but it’s been great so far. Has anyone else read it? I love how it has short chapters
