Surreal Spaces: The Life And Art Of Leonora Carrington

Long underestimated, Leonora Carrington (1917-011) is now regarded as one of the most avant-garde figures not only in the history of women artists, but also in that of Surrealism; her interests - feminism, ecology and art in the service of life - are shared by many people today.

This book is an illustrated biography of the artist, told through the interiors and places that had a special meaning for her. From Lancashire to London, from Cornwall to France and Spain, then on to Mexico and New York, each place and interior is essential to an understanding of her work and has infused and haunted her art.
