Praise for The Heart: “Compelling…[Petitjean] captures the pop and fizz of artistic circles in Paris during the interwar years…The Heart is a distinctively intimate undertaking, which is no small feat considering its well-known cast of characters…an unconventional and deeply personal biography.” —Washington Post “An intimate portrait of the artist and her time in the lively 1930s surrealist scene.” —New York Times Book Review
