The groundbreaking study "The Traumatic Surreal" delves into the profound impact of Germanophone women artists who embraced surrealist traditions in addressing the traumatic events and legacies of the Second World War. Through a comprehensive analysis of diverse works across various media, the book redefines the post-war trajectory of surrealism and recalibrates our understanding of the movement's relationship with historical trauma. Spanning chapters, the book explores the artistic contributions of Swiss Meret Oppenheim, German Unica Zürn, Austrian Birgit Jürgenssen, Luxembourg-Austrian Bady Minck, and Austrian Olga Neuwirth, in collaboration with fellow Austrian Nobel-prize winning novelist Elfriede Jelinek. By contextualizing each artist within their historical milieu, the book traces the evolution of the traumatic surreal across the wartime and post-war periods. This seminal work sheds light on the overlooked roles of these women artists in shaping the course of surrealism and offers a fresh perspective on their enduring contributions to art history.
