Hélène Smith
Hélène Smith (real name Catherine-Elise Müller, December 9, 1861,
Martigny – June 10, 1929,
Geneva) was a famous late-19th century
French medium. She was known as "the Muse of Automatic Writing" by the
Surrealists, who viewed Smith as evidence of the power of the surreal, and a symbol of surrealist knowledge. Late in life, Smith claimed to communicate with Martians, and to be a reincarnation of a Hindu princess and
Marie Antoinette.
