Description
Leonora Carrington: Surrealism, Alchemy and Art provides a fascinating overview of the life and work of this intriguing artist. Born in 1917, Carrington burst onto the Surrealist scene in 1936, bringing a unique blend of fantasy, satire, and the occult to her writing and art. Her work was championed by Andre Breton and featured in key Surrealist publications and exhibitions. As the 1940s saw Carrington establish herself as part of a vibrant circle of artists and writers in Mexico City, her work continued to evolve, drawing on indigenous Mexican culture and beliefs. This book explores Carrington's preoccupation with alchemy and the occult, and examines the influence of these themes on her production. A rich and detailed study, Leonora Carrington: Surrealism, Alchemy and Art offers a compelling insight into the life and work of this fascinating artist.
