Reluctant muse and feminist champion - heiress, rebel, refugee - and perhaps the last of the great Surrealist artists: Leonora Carrington played many roles in her long and extraordinary life. Exchanging her privileged upbringing in pre-war England for the more exciting elite of Paris's 1930s avant-garde, she comes to rub shoulders (and more) with the likes of Pablo Picasso, Man Ray, and Salvador Dalí, after embarking on a complicated love affair with Max Ernst. But the demons that have both haunted and inspired her work are gathering, and when the world goes mad with the outbreak of war and the Nazi invasion, Leonora's own hold on reality collapses into a terrifying psychotic episode of her own. Eventually fleeing war-torn Europe, she emerges into a new and richly creative life in Mexico City, establishing herself as a prodigious painter, writer, and advocate of women's rights. This new work by the acclaimed partnership of Mary and Bryan Talbot celebrates the life and career of a truly remarkable artist and woman. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I have become a bit obsessed with Leonara Carrington since reading The Hearing Trumpet and falling in love with her art and writing, and this absolutely blew me away.
I don't know enough about her life to know how true an account of her life this is, but it makes sense with the things I have come across.
Her life truly was a magical, brutal, heartbreaking gauntlet and this graphic novel captures it and her art spectacularly!
I absolutely hated The Last Days of New Paris for using Surrealism without engaging with or understanding it. In contrast, while the narrative is a rather traditional biography, the use of Carrington and others Surrealist Imagery and style to. convey emotion and the strangeness of her life is pretty much perfect!
Genuinely made me incredibly happy and absolutely made me cry. Wonderful stuff! ( )
