sofiia’s Reviews > Surreal Spaces: The Life and Art of Leonora Carrington > Status Update

i thought this couldn’t get any better, but here we have the burial of the patriarchs with “three confused-looking bearded men being rowed on a gondola by an elegant horse-woman with white moon-horns […] it is clear who is in control”.

this is too amusing, i should be writing my dissertation, not wanting to elope with a man to a little house in the middle of nowhere...

this is becoming a page-turner. i am gladly jealous of Leonora's life; it seems to be a polar opposite of how i would wish to... dare to? live. if i have dreams tonight, i want to dream being her.

also. this woman so brief with her comments. i need to know more! but, alas. i admire this: she lived her life, without trying to wrap it nicely for another eye, without telling much - for why don't we go live our own life

love how many pictures there are. finally getting to know Leonora.

fav painting(s) so far:
Night Nursery Everything (1947)
Grandmother Moorhead's Aromatic Kitchen (1975)
