Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) was an English surrealist artist and
writer who emigrated to Mexico after the Second World War. As the
first comprehensive examination of Carrington's writing and art,
this volume approaches her as a major international figure in
modern and contemporary art, literature and thought. It offers an
interdisciplinary exploration of the intellectual, literary and
artistic currents that animate her contribution to experimental art
movements throughout the Western Hemisphere, including surrealism
and magical realism. In addition to a substantive editorial
introduction, the book contains nine chapters from scholars of
modern literature and art, each focusing on a major feature in
Carrington's career. It also features a visual essay drawn from the
2015 Tate Liverpool exhibition Leonora Carrington: Transgressing
Discipline, and two experimental essays by the novelist Chloe
Aridjis and the scholar Gabriel Weisz, Carrington's son. This
collection offers a resource for students, researchers and readers
interested in Carrington's works, and contributes to her continued
rise in global recognition. -- .
