Out of This World: The Surreal Art of Leonora Carrington
Michelle Markel
This picture-book biography follows Leonora Carrington, born in England in 1917, from a childhood spent making wildly imaginative drawings to her determination to become an artist despite restrictive expectations for young women. As an adult, she found fellow surrealists who shared her artistic vision, even though men were more widely known in the movement. During World War II she moved to Mexico and continued painting. Her work portrays women in imaginative scenes, including listening to stars and taking part in magical processions.
