Leonora Carrington was a British-born surrealist artist, partner of Max Ernst in the 1930s. She painted convoluted scenes often of groups of women around a cauldron or cooking pot. This painting is multi-dimensional in every sense. Ladders lead up and down, floors of the house are revealed in a doll’s house way. The viewer can see the interior spaces and the people within those spaces. Powerful and thought provoking. Leonora steadfastly refused to explain her paintings. It’s for us the viewers to consider and appreciate the work in our own way. In 2015 The Tate Liverpool hosted an exhibition of her paintings, I was truly sorry when the exhibition came to an end. For me Leonora was a master of imagination, originality and style. #art #surrealism #Tate #Liverpool #leonoracarrington #surrealism #thinking #considering #appreciating @igers_artists
