Leonora Carrington has always been a difficult one to decipher from life to art for me—I look forward to reading this recommendation by Giselle:
It’s personal, reflective, and shaped by the evolving relationship between the writer and her subject.

It offers a fascinating glimpse into the personal mythology behind her work, showing how her independence, relationships, and periods of upheaval fed directly into the surreal and deeply symbolic universe she created.
