'A vivid panorama of an adventurous and stimulating age' Financial Times

Whether dancing on the rooftops in Paris, sharing ideas with Pablo Picasso, or gathering starfish on the beaches of Cornwall, Eileen Agar (1899–1991) transformed the everyday into the extraordinary. Her legacy as a pioneering figure in the Surrealist movement is firmly established, and her work continues to captivate audiences with its otherworldly beauty and imaginative power.

Agar's life was no less extraordinary than her art. Here, she traces her life from her birth in Argentina to the late 1980s.
