A leading figure in New York's Surrealist circles and in Latin American modernism, the Brazilian artist Maria Martins （1894-1973） was known for her bronze sculptures

of hybrid and mythological figures. Through her marriage to a Brazilian diplomat, Martins built a large part of her career outside Brazil, having lived in New York in the 1940s, when she was part of the city's expat Surrealist community. This survey examines Martins' central and active role in Surrealism （in a counterpart to the narratives about her romantic involvement with Duchamp）, her interpretation of Amazonian mythologies and iconography from the outset of her career, and her female perspective on themes of desire and eroticism.

巴西艺术家玛丽亚·马丁斯（Maria Martins，1894-1973）是纽约超现实主义圈子和拉丁美洲现代主义的领军人物，她以其混合青铜雕塑和神话人物青铜雕塑闻名。马丁斯嫁给一位巴西外交官后，她的大部分职业生涯都是在巴西以外的地方展开的。20世纪40年代，她居住在纽约，当时她是纽约超现实主义社区的一部分。这项调查研究了马丁斯在超现实主义中的核心和积极作用（与关于她与杜尚的浪漫关系的叙述相对应），她在职业生涯开始时对亚马逊神话和图标的解释，以及她对欲望和情色主题的女性视角。
