Angela Anaïs Juana Antolina Rosa Edelmira Nin y Culmell[a] (/ˌænaɪˈiːs niːn/ AN-eye-EESS NEEN;[1] French: [ana.is nin]; February 21, 1903 – January 14, 1977) was a French-born American diarist, essayist, novelist, and writer of short stories and erotica. Born to Cuban parents in France, Nin was the daughter of the composer Joaquín Nin and the classically trained singer Rosa Culmell. Nin spent her early years in Spain and Cuba, about sixteen years in Paris (1924–1940), and the remaining half of her life in the United States, where she became an established author.
Nin wrote journals prolifically from age eleven until her death. Her journals, many of which were published during her lifetime, detail her private thoughts and personal relationships. Her journals also describe her marriages to Hugh Parker Guiler and Rupert Pole, in addition to her numerous affairs with men and women, including those with psychoanalyst Otto Rank and writer Henry Miller, both of whom profoundly influenced Nin and her writing.
In addition to her journals, Nin wrote several novels, critical studies, essays, short stories, and volumes of erotic literature. Much of her work, including the collections of erotica, was published posthumously amid renewed critical interest in her life and work. Nin spent her later life in Los Angeles, California, where she died of cervical cancer in 1977. She was a finalist for the Neustadt International Prize for Literature in 1976.
Discovered Jan 2025 while performing a verification check on my other Anais Nin portraits for sale the algorithm offered up this uncut antique photo strip. Within 15 min of first seeing the image i was able to identify her. Anais has very definable features. I would hope that most can agree upon my identification. What it lacks in provenance is supported by my authorship. I have been recovering lost artifacts of significant historical presence and value since 2019. Utilizing algorithmic assistance and a talent for remote viewing i have found many treasures that would have remained in obscurity.
