Wow Kay Sage...I'd never heard of her until now. Thanks for opening my eyes. I will look for China Eggs.

I love introducing new artists to people like you who can really appreciate them!

Good luck tracking down her memoir; everywhere I've looked it's out of print. This is just one of the reasons to bring the women surrealists into prominence: we need to know what they painted and wrote, and to know their names.

The introduction to Penelope Rosemont's book Surrealist Women: an international anthology (do you know that one?) is entitled 'All My Names Know Your Leap"!

I don't know if it's a quote or Rosemont's own, but I have always loved repeating that phrase to myself.

Yeah I did a brief search and came up empty. That's why I'm going to make a big push with my memoir. I'm excited to read your book! I'll look for Rosemont's book too.

In relation to this post, I want to acknowledge and highlight an excellent discussion of the mental health aspects of Kay Sage's work by Kathryn Vercillo here: https://createmefree.substack.com/p/art-history-and-mental-health-surrealist?utm_source=publication-search
