Reluctant muse and feminist champion… society heiress and rebel
refugee… the last of the Surrealists: Leonora Carrington played
many roles in her long and extraordinary life. Renouncing her
privileged upbringing in pre-war England for the more exciting
elite of Paris’s 1930s avant-garde, she comes to rub shoulders
(and more) with the likes of Pablo Picasso, Man Ray, and Salvador
Dalí, after embarking on a complicated love affair with Max Ernst.
But the demons that have both haunted and inspired her work are
gathering, and when the world goes mad with the outbreak of war and
the Nazi invasion, Leonora’s own hold on reality collapses into a
terrifying psychotic episode of her own. Eventually fleeing
war-torn Europe, she emerges into a new and richly creative life in
Mexico City, establishing herself as a prodigious painter, writer,
and advocate of women’s rights. This new work by the acclaimed
partnership of Mary M. Talbot and Bryan Talbot celebrates the life
and career of a truly remarkable woman – and artist.
