It not only examines the life and work of this fascinating artist in the context of Paris between the wars, the Surrealist movement, and psychoanalysis; it also investigates the psychological motivation for the creation of an oeuvre consisting primarily of self-portraits that alternate between, and combine, male and female personae. Concepts of the mirror, mask, masquerade, double, uncanny, and perform-ativity are addressed with the aid of traditional as well as postmodern and feminist understanding.", pages = "29-62(34)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/tap/sgs/2001/00000002/00000001/art00003" }
