Girona

It is interesting that she was born not far in time and space from Dalí and both were some of a surrogate for a deceased sibling. --Error (talk) 22:44, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Original Research

Remarks such as "exposing the dynamic of superiority that is inherent in male surrealist’s misuse of women as muses" and "the characteristic misogynist treatment of women artists by the male surrealists" don't seem very encyclopedic tbh, especially when unsourced, and appear to be the opinions of editors? —Ashley Y 01:19, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This section appears to originate with these edits by User:Zza1978. I'm not sure what should be saved of it. —Ashley Y 01:28, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I removed all of those lines about how male surrealists didn't think women could draw; the way it was written was just absurd and sounded like it came from someone's college paper and not an encyclopedia. I narrowed it down to a few lines about her artwork that seem verifiable, but they will still need citations.Lcduke (talk) 22:03, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wasn't this bit sourced:
"Later in her career, Varo’s characters developed into her emblematic androgynous figures with heart-shaped faces, large almond eyes, and the aquiline noses that represent her own features. Varo often depicted herself through these key features in her paintings, regardless of the figure's gender.[1]"

Contradiction

The article states that Varo never divorced Gerardo Lizárraga (who died in 1982) and also that she married Walter Gruen in 1952. How is this possible? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Лудольф (talk • contribs) 09:31, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Varo during the Spanish Civil War

There's no info on what exactly she did or how long she spent in Spain with Esteban Francés. Like, we get info on how she was imprisoned during WWII but nothing on the civil war other than "she left to fight then returned"?
Was hoping to find more info by looking at Esteban's bio, but it says nothing on wether he went to fight, only that he fled the war.
As a side note, kinda funny how it was WWII that left her a "significant psychological scar" (uncited, of course!) and not whatever went down in Spain </sarcasm>

Citation rewording

While Varo did not deem her own work as feminist, “her work stretches the limits of and directly challenges confabulated, patriarchal ideals of femininity.”
Shouldn't this mention who's being cited for that or wether it's actually a commonly held belief? Same for the "One critic states:" part later on
