Artist and author of surrealist work.
Described as the last great living surrealist by the mexican poet and activist, homero aridjis, she having all but severed contact with her english kin, leonora was adopted by a motley family of artists. Leonora carrington is dead at 94; Carrington, one of the last living links to the world of andré breton, man ray and miró, was an art student when she encountered ernst's work for the first time at the international surrealism exhibition in london in 1936. During the past few years she has continued painting and she dedicates a lot of her time to sculpture, which is amazing considering.
