Description

Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) was an English surrealist artist and writer who emigrated to Mexico after the Second World War.

This volume approaches Carrington as a major international figure in modern and contemporary art, literature and thought.

It offers an interdisciplinary exploration of the intellectual, literary and artistic currents that animate her contribution to experimental art movements throughout the Western Hemisphere, including surrealism and magical realism. The book contains nine chapters from scholars of modern literature and art, each focusing on a major feature in Carrington's career.

It also features a visual essay drawn from the 2015 Tate Liverpool exhibition Leonora Carrington: Transgressing Discipline, and two experimental essays by the novelist Chloe Aridjis and the scholar Gabriel Weisz, Carrington's son.

This collection offers a resource for students, researchers and readers interested in Carrington's works. -- .
