The secret life of Belgian Surrealist poet Mimi Hamoir is revealed in this shocking, macabre, and erotic compilation. Profusely illustrated with rare photos and ephemera from her hidden archive — compiled and translated by Lono Taggers — this collector’s edition is a must-have for fans of surrealism, the avant-garde, and vampirism.
Take a deep dive into Belgian Surrealism and Paul Delvaux in this special edition.
This extraordinary catalogue features full color reproductions of never-before-seen paintings, with specifications and background details on each work. It includes the original clandestine “Surrealist Map of Belgium” (with annotations), plus rare documents and archival photographs restored to their original glory.
Lono Taggers has spent years compiling this faux edition, scouring secondhand bookshops in Brussels and Paris—tracking down reclusive collectors and hostile connoisseurs—breaking into archives and bribing greedy relatives of Paul Delvaux.
Black Scat Books has spared no expense in bringing to light these exceedingly rare paintings and historic Surrealist documents.
