A childhood devastated by rape, the absence of an idealized father, a strict moral mother, and a passion for art shaped Unica Zürn.

In the eyes of Unica Zürn, madness is the only way to be in the world.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCéline Wagner\u003c\/strong\u003e retraces the fate of Unica Zürn in this rare English-language portrait of the surrealist. Includes a number of reproductions of Zürn's work.\n\nFor Mature Readers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Humanoids","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59642177945886,"sku":"BETMI","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/betmi-betrayal-of-the-mind-unica-zurn-book.jpg?v=1784509437","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/betrayal-of-the-mind","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
