I could buy a postcard with one of my favorite authors (She was more mexican than spaniard in reference to her work)
Her name is Remedios Varo, this is a little bio
Remedios Varo (1908-1963) was born in Spain and educated in Spanish convent schools. Her father was a hydraulic engineer, which had a recurring influence in her work. Her artistic training was strict and academic, from which she fled into Barcelona's bohemian artistic circle. She was married to the poet Benjamin Peret, and her widower, publisher Walter Gruen. She moved to Paris where she became involved within the Surrealist movement. Forced into exile by the Nazis, she settled in Mexico City where her numerous retrospectives have drawn record crowds.
Some people say She studied with Dali I have to doubt it (it was possible She was in contact to him thought) I guess her work looks more to her teacher another girl that was british..I can not recall her name..the funny thing you can see in the work of Remedios Varo and her teacher are all the references to witchcraft...funny ....JESUS ANTONIO
