Heart, castle, monster or dragon, flower, gun and snake, without forgetting Nana, goddess and devouring mother, are all recurring motifs in the abundant work of Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002). They all have a privileged resonance in the life of the artist, finding their source in her tastes as much as in her revolts, but also in the repulsions and fears that she ends up capturing to make them the material of her art. This small dictionary lists 49 symbols that allow us to explore the entire work of Niki de Saint Phalle, from the first assemblages and the Shootings, the White Brides and the Nanas bursting with color to the monumental sculptures of the Tarot garden.
