This work is the second in the “Women Artists” series. Leonora Carrington (Lancashire, England, April 6, 1917-Mexico City, May 25, 2011) was an artist who developed most of her work in Mexico, although she was born in England to an aristocratic family. She was always a rebel and is an example of how one can live in freedom while being true to oneself. During her lifetime she did not have the recognition she deserved, but she lived as she wanted. She was part of the surrealist group and was Max Ernst's partner. Her works are supernatural fantasies that seem like wonderful visions filled with beings from another world. Spirits and ghosts never had a better home than on her canvases.
