About this product

Product Information

Now available in paperback, this book remains the definitive survey of the life and work of Surrealist artist Leonora Carrington (1917-2011). Carrington burst onto the Surrealist scene in 1936, when, as a precocious nineteen-year-old debutante, she escaped the stultifying demands of her wealthy English family by running away to Paris with her lover Max Ernst. She was immediately championed by Andre Breton, who responded enthusiastically to her fantastical, dark and satirical writing style and her interest in fairy tales and the occult. Her stories were included in Surrealist publications, and her paintings in the Surrealists' exhibitions. After the dramas and tragic separations of the Second World War, Carrington ended up in the 1940s as part of the circle of Surrealist European emigres living in Mexico City. Close friends with Luis Bunuel, Benjamin Peret, Octavio Paz and a host of both expatriate Surrealists and Mexican modernists, Carrington was at the centre of Mexican cultural life, while still maintaining her European connections. Leonora Carrington: Surrealism, Alchemy and Art provides a fascinating overview of this intriguing artist's rich body of work. The author considers Carrington's preoccupation with alchemy and the occult, and explores the influence of indigenous Mexican culture and beliefs on her production.

    A beautiful edition, fantastic content

    In really very good condition for a second handbook- almost pristine. Just a few corners of some page a little bent. However, it's only a 5 star product if you love the work of artist, Leonora Carrington. I find her work has great depth which I don't always find in other Surrealist artists' work, a very spiritual quality and is tremendously moving, quite apart from the exquisite drawing and colours. The colour reproductions of her work are top quality throughout the book and the story of her life and relationships with other Surrealist artists is well written, well documented with letters etc and compelling.It's a beautifully produced book worthy of this amazing artist and human being. I'm sooooooo glad I bought it.

    Love it, great and sometimes disturbing art works.

    Fabulous reproduced art works from this, in my opinion hugely underrated artist. Fascinating biography, full of other male artists, who are better known strangely! Beautiful and strange images from a highly skilled and creative woman.
