EVEN by Surrealistsâ standards, artist and photographer Eileen Agarâs childhood was unconventional.
Born in Buenos Aires in 1899, to a Scottish industrialist father and American biscuit firm heiress mother, she enjoyed a privileged and bohemian life growing up in a home that she recalls was âfull of balloons, hoops and St Bernard dogsâ.
She and her two sisters were dressed in furs by their mother, not for warmth, but to show off the familyâs wealth.
This ostentatious display was also adopted when the family would make their regular trips to Britain.
