A pioneer of Surrealism, Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) conjures vivid, otherworldly landscapes populated with fantastical creatures inspired by folklore, mysticism, the occult, and her own dramatic autobiography. Spanning fifty years of Carrington’s career, this exhibition celebrates her creative and technical versatility with more than thirty rarely seen artworks, generously loaned from private collections. By turns illuminating and enigmatic, Carrington’s work explores the dream-like worlds of the unconscious, probing the intimate workings of the imagination in ways that still resonate today.
Leonora Carrington: Dream Weaver is organized by the Rose Art Museum, Brandeis University, and is curated by Dr. Gannit Ankori, Henry and Lois Foster Director and Chief Curator, Rose Art Museum and Professor of Fine Arts and Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Brandeis University.
