A House of Her Own
Born in 1989 to wealthy American parents in upstate New York, American Surrealist painter Kay Sage became a member of the Surrealist art movement in Paris in 1937. Along with an eloquent chronicle of Sage's life, Judith Suther shows how not only Sage's art but also the iconoclastic themes of her poetic works were related to Sage's lifelong revolt against social and artistic convention. 78 illustrations. 10 color plates.

Kay Sage Catalogue Raisonné
Encompassing the entire career of the American surrealist painter Kay Sage, this catalogue raisonné features all her known mature works and the latest scholarship on a brilliant artist. While her career as a painter was often eclipsed during her lifetime by that of her husband, Yves Tanguy, recent scholarship posits that the influence was mutual and that Kay Sage's work was distinct from Tanguy's. The full extent of Sage's talent is laid bare in this stunning slip-cased book that includes many works that have not been viewed publicly since the 1940s and 1950s. An insightful essay explores Sage's involvement with the Surrealists and her marriage to Tanguy, as a partner and sounding board. A generously illustrated chronology includes personal and archival material that reveals much about her life and practice. The paintings, collages, and works on paper--haunting, evocative, and original--are reproduced to full effect, each with comprehensive provenance and exhibition history. Impeccably researched and engagingly written, this monograph brings to life an intrepid and hugely gifted artist whose talent is long overdue for recognition.
Kay Sage
Stephen Robeson Miller, the acknowledged expert on Kay Sage and highly respected curator, author, and academic, has finally released his long anticipated and meticulously researched chronology of her life.

It is strictly limited to 1000 hand signed and numbered copies and is further enhanced by the inclusion of Kay Sage's four surrealist one-act plays, three of which have never been published before.

Kay Sage & Yves Tanguy
American artist Kay Sage and her lover, French artist Yves Tanguy, left Europe in 1939, at the same time Adolf Hitler was making his mad, murderous dash across the Continent. Surrealist painters were under attack by the Third Reich, as were scores of other painters who refused to submit to the Nazi way of thinking. Leaving Paris behind, at one point joined by philanthropist Peggy Guggenheim, they were able to get themselves and many of their fellow artists to America. But while artists were coming to the United States, few were aware the American Nazi Party was seeking to sow division and mistrust so Germany could conquer America. Kay Sage and Yves Tanguy, wanting to marry in Reno, Nevada, planned a six-week vacation to establish their residency in the state. Their journey took them from Reno, across Nevada, into southern Utah and Arizona, as well as through the Navajo Reservation. This is their story. Barely staying one step ahead of Nazi agents, yet finding many friends and allies across the West, Kay Sage and Yves Tanguy endured many mishaps, adventures, and more as they came together, fusing their futures, both in truth and spirit.
Surrealism and Women
These sixteen illustrated essays present an important revision of surrealism by focusing on the works of women surrealists and their strategies to assert positions as creative subjects within a movement that regarded woman primarily as an object of masculine desire or fear.While the male surrealists attacked aspects of the bourgeois order, they reinforced the traditional patriarchal image of woman. Their emphasis on dreams, automatic writing, and the unconscious reveal some of the least inhibited masculine fantasies. The first resistance to the male surrealists' projection of the female figure arose in the writings and paintings of marginalized woman artists and writers associated with Surre...

Surrealist women's writing
Surrealist women’s writing: A critical exploration is the first sustained critical inquiry into the writing of women associated with surrealism. Featuring original essays by leading scholars of surrealism, the volume demonstrates the extent and the historical, linguistic, and culturally contextual breadth of this writing. It also highlights how the specifically surrealist poetics and politics of these writers’ work intersect with and contribute to contemporary debates on, for example, gender, sexuality, subjectivity, otherness, anthropocentrism, and the environment. Drawing on a variety of innovative theoretical approaches, the essays in the volume focus on the writing of numerous women surrealists, many of whom have hitherto mainly been known for their visual rather than their literary production. These include Claude Cahun, Leonora Carrington, Kay Sage, Colette Peignot, Suzanne Césaire, Unica Zürn, Ithell Colquhoun, Leonor Fini, Dorothea Tanning, and Rikki Ducornet.
