Leonora Carrington | Surrealist painter and sculptor | Sculpture

Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) was a painter, writer, sculptor, alchemist, visionary, and was the darling of the 1930s Surrealism movement.

She never tried to be a Surrealist, but her paintings of fantastical creatures and living furniture happened to encapsulate the essence of the movement.

"I didn't think of myself as a Surrealist. I try not to think of myself as anything. We all have these egos, you know", she explains.
