Leonora Carrington (Chorley, Lancs, 1917 - ) is a British-born Mexican surrealist painter, sculptor and a novelist. In 1937, she met Max Ernst, with whom she became involved romantically and artistically. In Mexico, with Remedios Varo, she developed an illusionistic Surrealism.
Nothing Carrington has created--ever--is one-dimensional or literal, despite appearing so. Her universe, multi-determined, layered, and polyvalent, is not readily accessible. The source of her creativity flows through her personal history, lifting fragments of ancestral information, documenting moments in time to transform them into permanent events. [1]
