‘A beautifully written memoir by one of the most important and
original artists working today . . .&,nbsp,utterly gripping,
enraging, entertaining – and important. I can't recommend it highly
enough’ Jennifer HiggieA sparkling memoir and portrait of
trailblazing artist Liliane Lijn as a young womanIn 1958, talented
and fearless and eighteen years old, Liliane Lijn left her family
home and moved to Paris alone to become an artist. Once there, she
found an art world filled with the wild energy of creative
revolution – peopled and controlled almost entirely by men.In the
years that followed, Lijn built a life for herself in the city. She
embraced the hectic bohemian spirit of the Left Bank. She
befriended artists, painters, poets, gallerists and
revolutionaries, as the late Surrealists gave way to a burgeoning
Pop Art movement.She had disastrous love affairs with difficult
men. She experimented boldly, creating ground-breaking sculptures
with light, text and movement. And as her profile steadily grew,
she was told again and again that there are no great women artists:
‘There never have been.’Liquid Reflections is her memoir of these
years of experiment and adventure – years when Lijn was constantly
in motion, from Paris to New York to Venice to Athens, from paper
and canvas to wax and Perspex to oil and water.In love, she became
pregnant but rebelled against the idea that a woman could not be
both a great artist and a mother. And she sought – and found –
radical pleasure in the act of creative expression and in the
living, sensuous world around her. Based on personal diaries from
the time, this is a riveting and revelatory account of a singular
coming of age: a glittering portrait of the artist as a young
woman.'I wrote LIQUID REFLECTIONS because I wanted to take my
readers on the journey I made to become an artist. It's the story
of an idealistic, inspired young woman who refuses to accept the
prejudices of her time. Becoming an artist was also a search for my
own identity…’ Liliane Lijn
