Leonora Carrington. England-Mexico 20th-21st centuries.She was a writer, painter, scenographer and sculptor who was introduced into surrealism by Max Ernst. During the nazi ocupation of France, she was living in Paris, and she colaborated with the Freier Künstlerbund, an underground movement of intelectuals against fascism. Sadly, Max Ernst was imprisoned by the Nazi-collaborationist government of France, and she had to flee to Spain were she was entered into a psychiatric hospital due to her unstable condition and trauma. Staying in such place, would leave a mark on her work. She was described by André Breton as an ambassador back from “the other side”, a seer, a witch returned from the underworldwith visionary powers. The original piece of this drawing is available at my online shop. -- source link
