 The enigmatic world of surrealist artist Leonora Carrington.
A writer, a visual artist and an unrelenting adventurer, Leonora Carrington was born in 1917, in Lancashire. To her rich family’s dismay, she became a painter and a prominent member of the Surrealists’ Circle in Paris famously eloping with Max Ernst at the end of the thirties. She’s revered for her enigmatic and nonconformist work in Mexico, where she’s been living since the Second World War but, despite her literature being published by Penguin, is very little known in Britain. The V&A is now displaying Leonora Carrington’s works as part of the exhibition “Surreal Things: Surrealism and Design” and Delia Radu talked about her paintings with Marina Warner and the curator of the exhibition Ghislaine Wood.
