Publisher Description: The English born artist and writer Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) has received much critical acclaim and achieved stellar status in Mexico, where she lived and worked for most of her life, having fled Europe via Spain in tormenting circumstances. Leonora Carrington: Living Legacies brings together a collection of chapters that constitute a range of artistic, scholarly and creative responses to the realm of Carrington emphasizing how her work becomes a medium, a milieu, and a provocation for new thinking, being and imagining in the world. The diversity of contributions from scholars, early career researchers, and artists, include unpublished papers, interviews, creative provocations, and writing from practice-led interventions. Collectively they explore, question, and enable new ways of thinking with Carrington's legacy. Wishing to expand on recent important scholarly publications by established Carrington researchers which have brought historical and international significance to the artist's legacy, this volume offers new perspectives on the artist's relevance in feminist thinking and artistic methodologies. |
