Baronesa dandy, reina dadá: La vida-obra de Elsa Von Freytag-Loringhoven

Abstract

This is how Luis Antonio de Villena ends his introduction to this book, an introduction entitled, “Dandys, androgynous, ginandras”: “I wish that the book by Gloria G. Durán on the magnificent Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven would serve as an incentive for wisdom and transgression in beauty and scandal in a world that today requires both. Knowing today that more than a century ago excellent women have entered these Turkish pavilions without eunuchs a Huri, but — at least — with androgynes and ginandras. The gods want it. "Dandy baroness, Dada Queen 's book delves into the life of the most exalted of all the personalities that the Dada was good at giving us. A woman without limits and without parallel, a woman who spent a life giving us a different version of herself than the previous one and, paradoxically, completely unique and totally her own. A woman who according to the author is the only dandyism that came half a century later. Proto punk, proto performer and post porn.
