In a Mexican Court, life imitates art -- surrealist art
Article Abstract:
Remedios Varo, an important 20th century Spanish born surrealist painter became an icon in her adopted homeland of Mexico. She died intestate and there is a court battle over ownership of her paintings, between her lover Walter Gruen and Beatriiz Varo, a niece she barely knew. Mr. Gruen and Ms. Varo became lovers, moving in together in 1952 and his financial and emotional support gave her the stability she needed to paint full-time.
