Masculin/Feminin by Mimi Parent
French-Canadian painter and engraver (b. Sept. 8, 1924, Montreal, Que.—d. June 14, 2005, Switzerland), participated in most of the major Surrealist exhibitions of the mid-20th century, including the 1959 “Eros” exhibit in Paris; her masculine-feminine poster featured a tie fashioned from her own hair, set against a man’s suit lapels and white shirt. She studied at the École des Beaux Artes de Montréal, where she met Jean Benoît, an artist whom she later married.
