Summary

Mathilde Visser grew up in a prosperous, Jewish-liberal environment. After a broken off study and a lost marriage she left for Paris in 1931, where she became friends with the painters Pablo Picasso and Max Ernst and the poet Tristan Tzara. It became the basis for her later work as art critic in De Waarheid and Het Financieele Dagblad . In Paris she had become a communist and she remained that until her death. During the Second World War she took part in the resistance in Yugoslavia and married for the second time. Although she gave a lot of money to the Communist Party of the Netherlands after the war, it took her a lot of trouble to obtain her membership. The party leadership did not quite trust the rich bourgeois lady dressed in fur coat. Cornelissen reconstructs Mathilde Visser's special life story by means of letters, diaries and conversations with contemporaries.
