Parent, Mimi
▪ 2006
Marie Parent 
      French-Canadian painter and engraver (b. Sept. 8, 1924, Montreal, Que.—d. June 14, 2005, Switzerland), participated in most of the major Surrealist exhibitions of the mid-20th century, including the 1959 “Eros” exhibit in Paris; her masculine-feminine poster featured a tie fashioned from her own hair, set against a man's suit lapels and white shirt. She studied at the École des Beaux Artes de Montréal, where she met Jean Benoît, an artist whom she later married. She was expelled from the school in 1947 for “insubordination.” Parent enjoyed a successful show at the Dominion Gallery in Montreal in 1947 and the next year relocated to Paris with Benoît. There she met the critic André Breton and became one of the key members of the Surrealist movement with her three-dimensional tableaux boxes, which showcased her fascination with Gothic novels.
