Leonora Carrington England, 1917-2011
Biography
Moving from the northern English countryside and ultimately to Mexico City, she created a language shaped by love, fiercely personal in tone, independent in spirit, and later profoundly influential, and it is in her book ‘Down Below’ where this feels most honest.

Moving from the northern English countryside and ultimately to Mexico City, she created a language shaped by love, fiercely personal in tone, independent in spirit, and later profoundly influential, and it is in her book ‘Down Below’ where this feels most honest.
