Description
The Invisible Painting: My Memoir of Leonora Carrington This enchanting portrait of a woman's life is woven from conversations, memories, and stories, revealing the artist behind the iconic persona. Gabriel Weisz Carrington draws on his mother's life, exploring her as a Surrealist creator, not just in relation to her romantic partners or social milieus, but as the artist she always was. From England to Mexico, New York, and Paris, Weisz Carrington travels to meet the remarkable figures associated with his mother, including Max Ernst, André Breton, Remedios Varo, and Alejandro Jodorowsky. Through his mother's engagement with the books she read, Weisz Carrington has produced a textured portrait of life, art, love, and loss, using the act of writing to process and understand the death of his mother. A moving and fascinating account, this memoir offers a complex and very real Surrealist creator, stripped of myth and legend.
