Description
Carrington's extraordinary life, a mixture of fantasy and madness, has lent her work a unique quality that enhances and transcends its intrinsic worth. Like the New York School that claimed successful European immigrants to New York as its own, Mexico claims the British Carrington and thus her connection to Europe's avant-garde, Surrealism in particular. The relationship between Mexican art and Leonora Carrington has never been convincingly established. This book, published under the show more sponsorship of Mexico's National Council for Culture and Arts, also fails to establish it. Rather it portrays the artist as a tireless and adventurous wanderer very fortunate in her life and more-than-generous friends. show lessTags
