![]() “Leonora Carrington: Revelación,” on view at Fundación MAPFRE in Madrid, is the first retrospective devoted to the artist in Spain and offers a fresh presentation of her influences, thematic concerns, and technical and intellectual development. ![]() She left behind a vast oeuvre-paintings, sculptures, drawings, tapestries, masks, costume and stage designs, plays, short stories, novels, and more-that is so multivalent in its inspiration, inventive in its forms, and radical in its propositions that only now, a little more than a century after her birth, have we begun to fully appreciate her vision. © Estate of Leonora Carrington/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York.ĪS LEONARA CARRINGTON’S STAR continues to ascend, propelled by an explosion of exhibitions, publications, theatrical productions, and documentary films-last year’s Venice Biennale was named after her children’s book, The Milk of Dreams-it is gratifying to see that her work holds up under all the scrutiny. Leonora Carrington, El mundo mágico de los mayas (The Magical World of the Mayans), 1963–64, casein tempera on panel, 6' 6 3⁄4" × 14' 1 3⁄4". ![]()
