OverviewNorah Borges (1901-98) is the sister of the celebrated Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. She first began producing art in Switzerland, where her family were trapped during the First World War. She travelled to Spain and then back to her native Argentina, bringing with her new styles of painting. In the 1920s her work was published on the front covers of all the important cultural magazines of the time, but now she is largely forgotten. In her works she creates a world full of almost angelic figures. She described this space as a smaller, more perfect world and it is mostly a serene space that is dominated by women. This book explores the ways in which she created that space and developed her own unique style of painting. It studies all the connections she made with the best-known artists and writers around her and challenges viewers to look more closely at the ways in which she deploys specific images across her entire body of work.
