Since her death in 2011, the legendary Surrealist Leonora Carrington has been reconstructed and reinvented many times over. In this book, Gabriel Weisz Carrington draws on remembered conversations and events to demythologise his mother, revealing the woman and the artist behind the iconic persona.
He travels between Leonora's native England and adopted homeland of Mexico, making stops in New York and Paris and meeting some of the remarkable figures she associated with, from Max Ernst and André Breton to Remedios Varo and Alejandro Jodorowsky. At the same time, he strives to depict a complex and very real Surrealist creator, exploring Leonora not simply in relation to her romantic partners or social milieus but as the artist she always was. A textured portrait emerges from conversations, memories, stories and Leonora's engagement with the books that she read.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Manchester University PressISBN-13:9781526153937ISBN-10:1526153939UPC:9781526153937Book Category:ArtBook Subcategory:Individual Artists, Caribbean & Latin American, Women ArtistsBook Topic:MonographsSize:8.60 x 5.70 x 0.70 inchesWeight:0.9502Product ID:SC3YWBVX47
