Review

The submission is a "Compte rendu," or book review, addressing Andrea Oberhuber's recent publication, *Faire œuvre à deux. Le Livre surréaliste au féminin*. While the abstract provides only the bibliographic information of the book itself, the title immediately signals a significant and timely contribution to Surrealist studies. By focusing on "Le Livre surréaliste au féminin," the book promises to shed new light on the often-marginalized creative output of women artists within the Surrealist movement, specifically through the unique lens of the "book" as an artistic and collaborative medium. This framework positions the review of Oberhuber's work as a potentially crucial piece for scholars tracking developments in art history and gender studies. The book's title, *Faire œuvre à deux*, further suggests an exploration of collaborative processes and shared authorship, themes particularly relevant when examining the historically intertwined lives and creative partnerships of women surrealists. The publication by Presses de l’Université de Montréal and Presses de l’Université de Rennes, both esteemed academic presses, in 2023, reinforces the scholarly rigor and contemporary relevance of Oberhuber's research. With a substantial length of 352 pages, the book appears to offer a comprehensive and in-depth analysis, making the "Compte rendu" an important gateway for readers seeking to understand its arguments and contributions. Given the inherent value of the book's subject matter – re-evaluating women's pivotal role in Surrealism through the overlooked medium of the book – a thoughtful and analytical review would be highly beneficial to the academic community. Such a review would not only summarize Oberhuber's findings but also critically engage with her methodologies and conclusions, guiding researchers through a complex and fertile area of study. Ultimately, this "Compte rendu" is expected to serve as a valuable resource for anyone interested in modern art history, feminist art criticism, and the multifaceted nature of artistic creation within avant-garde movements.
