Paperback. Condition: Fine. 1st. 321 pages, illustrations (some colour); 20 cm. Tight, clean copy. First paperback edition. *** "In 2006 journalist Joanna Moorhead discovered that her father's cousin, Prim, who had disappeared many decades earlier, was now a famous artist in Mexico. Although rarely spoken of in her own family (regarded as a black sheep, a wild child; someone they were better off without) in the meantime Leonora Carrington had become a national treasure in Mexico, where she now lived, while her paintings are fetching ever-higher prices at auction today. Intrigued by her story, Joanna set off to Mexico City to find her lost relation. Later she was to return to Mexico ten times more between then and Leonora's death in 2011, sometimes staying for months at a time and subsequently travelling around Britain and through Europe in search of the loose ends of her tale." - Publisher.

Leonora Carrington (illustrator). Manchester: Manchester University Press:, 2021. First edition, hardcover, New in dust jacket, 139 pp. Cover artwork by: Leonora Carrington "Since her death in 2011, the legendary Surrealist Leonora Carrington has been reconstructed and reinvented many times over. In this book, Gabriel Weisz Carrington draws on remembered conversations and events to demythologise his mother, revealing the woman and the artist behind the iconic persona. He travels between Leonora's native England and adopted homeland of Mexico, making stops in New York and Paris and meeting some of the remarkable figures she associated with, from Max Ernst and André Breton to Remedios Varo and Alejandro Jodorowsky. At the same time, he strives to depict a complex and very real Surrealist creator, exploring Leonora not simply in relation to her romantic partners or social milieus but as the artist she always was. A textured portrait emerges from conversations, memories, stories and Leonora's engagement with the books that she read. Using the act of writing to process and understand the death of his mother, the author has produced a moving and fascinating account of life, art, love and loss."

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Libro de tapas blandas en excelente estado de conservación. Véanse las imágenes adjuntas. Primera edición en español--octubre de 2017. Edición original en inglés: "The Surreal Life of Leonora Carrington" Virago 2017. Todas las páginas están limpias sin marcas, anotaciones, o subrayadas. 230 páginas. Pintora y escritora extraordinaria, pionera del surrealismo y figura crucial del arte del último siglo, Leonora Carrington tuvo una vida siempre a contracorriente, tan surrealista como su pintura. Nació en Inglaterra en una familia acomodada, de la que se fugó con apenas veinte años, y pasó temporadas en Francia, España y Portugal antes de embarcarse, junto con gran parte de su generación artística europea, rumbo a América, donde encontró una nueva vida. Una vida que, como las de Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, Frida Kahlo o Peggy Guggenheim, recorre gran parte de los avatares políticos y artísticos del siglo xx. Esta es su biografía más personal, escrita por su prima Joanna Moorhead, periodista inglesa que se enteró, ya de adulta, de que la famosa Leonora Carrington era familiar suya, y la acompañó durante sus últimos años.
