Carrington burst onto the Surrealist scene in 1936, when, as a precocious nineteen-year-old debutante, she escaped the stultifying demands of her wealthy English family by running away to Paris with her lover Max Ernst. She was immediately championed by Andre Breton, who responded enthusiastically to her fantastical, dark and satirical writing style and her interest in fairy tales and the occult. Her stories were included in Surrealist publications, and her paintings in the Surrealists' exhibitions. After the dramas and tragic separations of the Second World War, Carrington ended up in the 1940s as part of the circle of Surrealist European emigres living in Mexico City. Close friends with Luis Bunuel, Benjamin Peret, Octavio Paz and a host of both expatriate Surrealists and Mexican modernists, Carrington was at the centre of Mexican cultural life, while still maintaining her European connections. Leonora Carrington: Surrealism, Alchemy and Art provides an overview of this artist's rich body of work. The author considers Carrington's preoccupation with alchemy and the occult, and explores the influence of indigenous Mexican culture and beliefs on her production."--Jacket. 540 $a Current Copyright Fee: GBP28.00 $c 0. $5 Uk 600 10 $a Carrington, Leonora, $d 1917-2011 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Carrington, Leonora, $d 1917-2011. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01760605 600 17 $a Carrington, Leonora $d 1917-2011 $2 gnd 600 17 $a Carrington, Leonora, $d 1917-2011. $2 sao 650 0 $a Surrealism. 650 0 $a Magic in art. 651 0 $a Mexico $v In art. 650 6 $a SurreÌalisme. 650 6 $a Magie dans l'art. 650 7 $a Surrealist. $2 aat 650 7 $a Art and Design. $2 eflch 650 7 $a Magic in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01005496 650 7 $a Surrealism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01139538 651 7 $a Mexico. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211700 650 7 $a Malerei $2 gnd 650 7 $a Surrealismus $2 gnd 650 7 $a Surrealism. $2 sao 650 7 $a Magi i konsten. $2 sao 651 7 $a Mexiko $x i konsten. $2 sao 655 4 $a In art. 655 7 $a Art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423702 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718090016.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=829F8DC0214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
