Anaïs Nin and the Synthesis of the Arts “The Multimedia of Our Unconscious Life”: Anaïs Nin and the Synthesis of the Arts Sandra Rehme University College London PhD History of Art 1 I, Sandra Rehme, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract This thesis explores Anaïs Nin’s idea of a synthesis of the arts in writing and its extension to different media through an analysis of her interdisciplinary collaborations with artists and composers in the United States of the 1950s and 1960s. I discuss these collaborations within the context of Nin’s unconventional understanding of the unconscious as multidimensional space and her interest in the sensory effects of different art forms, which are at the centre of Nin’s art theory. I look at the sources she drew on to formulate her ideas in Paris of the 1930s, including Symbolism, D.H. Lawrence’s writing, French Surrealism and various psychoanalytical models, and discuss how they relate to cultural and socio-political developments in America at mid-century. This includes a strong focus on Nin’s ambiguous negotiation of female identity and female creativity in her writing and the frictions it causes when it is translated into other media by her male collaborators. While Nin’s interest in different art forms and her attempt at imitating their sensuous effects in writing has been explored from a literary perspective, Nin’s extra-literary collaborations remain largely unexplored. Similarly, the work of most of the artists Nin collaborated with has not been analysed critically in a scholarly context. Unlike previous studies of Nin’s work, then, the approach of this thesis is an interdisciplinary analysis of her collaborations, which focuses equally on Nin’s writing and on the work and input of the artists she worked with. Each of the four chapters focuses on a different collaboration and art form including photomontage, film, music and collage. This thesis argues that Nin’s artistic encounters and her engagement with different art forms in America of the 1950s and 60s open up interesting new discourses around interdisciplinarity and gender, the legacy of surrealism in America and counterculture art production in the 1960s. 3 Contents Acknowledgements 5 List of Illustrations 6 Introduction 9 Chapter One 45 “Spiritual X-Rays”: Val Telberg’s Photomontages for Anaïs Nin’s House of Incest (1958) Chapter Two 107 Between Trance Film and Psychedelic Cinema: Ian Hugo’s Bells of Atlantis (1952) Chapter Three 166 ‘Screams, Noises and Sonorous Tornadoes’: Edgard Varèse’s Nocturnal I (1961) Chapter Four 237 Reassembling the Fragments – Anaïs Nin’s Collages (1964) and California Assemblage Conclusion 295 Bibliography 306 Images 329 4 Acknowledgements I would like to thank the AHRC for the funding I received from 2009-2012.

Since her death in 1977, the controversial writer of esoteric novels, erotica and a multi-volume diary that spans more than five decades has come to stand for many, often contradictory things – from hedonistic socialite, proto-feminist and anti-feminist, narcissistic nymphomaniac, pornographer, pathological liar to cult figure – but art practitioner? Even ‘serious writer’ remains a contested job description.
