Description: "The British-born artist and writer Leonora Carrington (1917#19;2011) is one of the vanguards in the history of women artists and the history of Surrealism. The interests of this visionary--feminism, ecology, the arcane and the mystical, the interconnectedness of everything--are now shared by many nging the conventions of her time, Carrington abandoned family, society, and England to embrace new experiences and forge a unique artistic style in Europe and the Americas."--
Review Quotes: "[A] sumptuously illustrated biography. . . . As we read about Ms. Moorhead's discovery of her cousin's life and art, and are privy to their conversations, it is as if we are in one of Carrington's beautifully crafted rooms. The tone of this biography is loving and seems to stem from a desire to share a family member and great artist with the rest of us."---Carl Rollyson, New York Sun
