Abstract:
Kay Sage, a surrealist artist active from 1937 until her death in 1963, is a woman whose art and contributions to surrealism tend to be overlooked in literature on the Surrealist movement. In this paper, I contextualize the contributions that Sage made to help the spread of Surrealism from Europe to America, and why these efforts are important in shaping the movement in the United States. I argue for the re-contextualizaton of her work both as an advocate for Surrealism and as a Surrealist artist herself in order to understand the ways in which Sage has contributed to the history of art in America. This paper sheds a light on Kay Sage as a woman in Surrealism in an effort to showcase the importance of such female histories within art historical study.
