Armed With Madness: The Surreal Leonora Carrington

English

By (author): Mary M. Talbot

Illustrated by: Bryan Talbot

Reluctant muse and feminist champion society heiress and rebel refugee the last of the Surrealists: Leonora Carrington played many roles in her long and extraordinary life.

Renouncing her privileged upbringing in pre-war England for the more exciting elite of Pariss 1930s avant-garde, she comes to rub shoulders (and more) with the likes of Pablo Picasso, Man Ray, and Salvador Dalí, after embarking on a complicated love affair with Max Ernst. But the demons that have both haunted and inspired her work are gathering, and when the world goes mad with the outbreak of war and the Nazi invasion, Leonoras own hold on reality collapses into a terrifying psychotic episode of her own.

Eventually fleeing war-torn Europe, she emerges into a new and richly creative life in Mexico City, establishing herself as a prodigious painter, writer, and advocate of womens rights. This new work by the acclaimed partnership of Mary M. Talbot and Bryan Talbot celebrates the life and career of a truly remarkable woman and artist.
