Leonora Carrington
The Irish-English artist Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) elbowed herself into Surrealist movement in quite realistic fashion: She ran off to Paris with Max Ernst. Her dalliance with her fellow Surrealist aside, though, Carrington had the goods. Drawing from the well of her Celtic soul, she created dreamscapes suffused with myth, alchemy and the occult.
