Leonora Carrington: Surrealism, Alchemy and Art
Le prix d'expédition sera calculé au moment du paiement. Taxes incluses
Leonora Carrington’s paintings make their own rules. Animal companions, ritual gatherings and enigmatic interiors belong to a world shaped by stories, esoteric knowledge and a fiercely independent imagination. Susan L. Aberth’s study offers a sustained introduction to that world, following the artist’s life alongside the development of her imagery.
Rather than reducing Carrington to her association with other Surrealists, the book examines the ideas and experiences that gave her work its character, including alchemy, the occult and her life in Mexico. Reproductions support a closer reading of paintings whose small details often matter as much as their dreamlike atmosphere. A thoughtful choice for readers seeking depth behind Surrealism’s stranger visions, and a strong companion to an interest in women’s contributions to modern art.
