Mary Wykeham, a visionary artist who emerged in the early 20th century, has been overlooked in the narratives of surrealism. This groundbreaking study delves into the remarkable journey of Wykeham, showcasing her unwavering pursuit of art. From her early days traversing Europe to achieving success as a painter, she embarked on a profound quest to harmonize her artistic calling with her religious devotion.
Through meticulous research, Silvano Levy unveils the life and work of Wykeham, examining her artistic evolution and the profound impact of her political and religious beliefs. Wykeham's surrealist oeuvre, characterized by its innovation and emotional depth, is explored in detail. A period of exploration into Taoist spirituality led to mesmerizing and enigmatic works that defied conventional understanding.
However, a pivotal moment occurred when Wykeham decided to enter the religious life as a nun, a decision that shocked the artistic community. Despite being compelled to relinquish her art, Wykeham's creative instincts persisted, and she secretly resumed painting until her passing. This captivating publication places Wykeham firmly within the narrative of modern art, shedding light on the work of a lesser-known artist who deserves to be brought out of the shadows.
Through her unwavering dedication and artistic prowess, Mary Wykeham emerges as a captivating figure who challenges the boundaries between art and faith, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to inspire and intrigue.
