Hermann Landshoff, “Leonora Carrington in her Greenwich Village apartment, New York” (1942)
Mary Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) was a British-born, naturalized Mexican surrealist painter and writer. From an early age, Carrington rebelled against her religious upbringing, and was expelled from two convent schools before being sent to boarding school in Florence at the age of fourteen. After studying painting in Florence, she moved to London, where she encountered surrealism, and met artist Max Ernst. Together, they moved to Paris, where she created her earliest surrealist works, including her self portrait: Inn of the Dawn Horse
