lise deharme -lrb- née anne-marie hirtz -rrb- -lrb- 5 may 1898 -- 19 january 1980 -rrb- was a french writer associated with the surrealist movement .
deharme was born in paris in 1898 .
her father was a famous doctor .
in january 1925 , she visited the paris bureau of surrealist research .
as a result of an incident that occurred during her visit , which is recorded in andré breton 's `` nadja '' , she would become known as the `` dame au gant , '' or the lady of the glove .
in 1927 she married paul deharme , the radio pioneer who worked with surrealist robert desnos .
using the pen name lisa hirtz , she published her first book : `` il était une petite pie '' -lsb- `` there was a little magpie '' -rsb- -lrb- with 8 pochoirs by joan miró -rrb- in 1928 .
until recently , the legacy of lise deharme has been told in the margins of books on surrealism and surrealism 's father , andré breton .
she is remembered as the `` first impossible mad love dreamed of by andré breton '' .
however , her social and political influence on surrealism extends far beyond the novel , and beyond her influence as breton 's `` notorious muse '' .
in recent years , historians such as marie-claire barnet , mary ann caws , renée riese hubert , andréa oberhuber , and penelope rosemont , have begun to un-do the `` reducing '' of deharme to `` a failed love story '' .
these scholars have set out to establish a more dynamic conception of deharme 's reputation .
in her lifetime , lise deharme -lrb- 1889-1980 -rrb- , gained `` celebrity as a hostess '' .
specifically , she was a prolific organizer of surrealist salons .
man ray once described deharme 's house , where she held her salons , as `` a rambling affair , filled with strange objects and rococo furniture '' .
amidst these rambling salons , deharme 's subversive publication , le phare de neuilly , emerged in 1933 .
le phare de neuilly provided space for radical juxtapositions of works by contributors such as `` natalie barney , james joyce , d.h. lawrence , and jacques lacan '' and was poignantly political and subversive .
as the curator of le phare , deharme personally `` ethical and aesthetic issues to address the socio-political troubles of the early 1930s '' .
in the late 1930s , deharme collaborated with claude cahun on the book le cœur de pic .
after publishing le cœur de pic in 1937 deharme , alternatively , came to be known in the surrealist circle as `` la dame de pique '' queen of spades .
around this time she was closely connected to andré breton , paul eluard , and man ray .
she is featured posing in one of man ray 's photographs as the queen of spades .
marie clare barnet describes the significance of deharme 's new nickname : le choix du symbole maléfique de la dame de pique nous suggère donc qu'on aurait tort de reléguer ses ouvres dans la rubrique `` charme fragile '' de la `` féminité féline et végétale '' .
méfiance , le charme de l'humour deharmien est plus vénéneux qu'on a pu le laisser entendre , même dans le meilleurs ouvrages de références .
choice of the malevolent symbol of the queen of hearts suggests that we would be wrong to relegate her work to the `` fragile charm '' category of `` feline and floral femininity '' .
beware : the charm of deharmien humor is deadlier than we have been led to believe , even in the best reference books .
