‘A beautifully written memoir by one of the most important and original artists working today . . . utterly gripping, enraging, entertaining – and important. I can't recommend it highly enough’ Jennifer Higgie
In 1958, talented and fearless and eighteen years old, Liliane Lijn left her family home and moved to Paris alone to become an artist. Once there, she found an art world filled with the wild energy of creative revolution – peopled and controlled almost entirely by men.
Embracing the bohemian spirit of the Left Bank, Lijn built a life for herself in the city, befriending artists, poets and revolutionaries and creating ground-breaking sculptures with light, text and movement, despite being told again and again that there are no great women artists.
Liquid Reflections is her sparkling memoir of these years of experiment and adventure. Based on personal diaries from the time, this is a riveting and revelatory portrait of the artist as a young woman.

Liliane Lijn is an artist and writer. From text based kinetic sculptures to large animated installations, inspired by science, mythology, and eastern philosophies, Lijn combines industrial materials with artistic processes to reimagine the female body. Her work is held in important public collections, including Tate, Victoria & Albert, British Museum, and FNAC in Paris. She has been exhibited internationally since the 1960s, most recently in Electric Dreams at Tate Modern and in the major retrospective Liliane Lijn: Arise Alive at the Haus der Kunst, Munich, touring to mumok, Vienna and Tate St. Ives. Born in New York, Lijn subsequently lived in Lugano, Paris, New York and Athens before finally settling in London in 1967.
