Book Reviews of Leonora Carrington: Surrealism, Alchemy And Art
Book Review: Carrington emerges as a superstar
Summary: 5 Stars
This first book in English on the English surrealist, Leonora Carrington is wildly overdue. Her mate, Max Ernst, now the subject of a major retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, chose well. Carrington's sensibility is exquisite, and this new work reveals in a finely balanced and deligthfully readable way the deep nature of her contribution to one of the most undervalued of all art movements in the 20th century. Leonora is now in her 90s and still carries her laundry up many flights of stairs in Mexico City--this monograph is a welcome addition to our understanding of her energy and her accomplishment as a painter of the first water.
