Leonora Carrington: Surrealism, Alchemy and Art Review: wonderful artist, and everything an art book should be - This is one of only two books in English that I know of devoted to Leonora Carrington, a fantastic (in all senses) Surrealist artist and writer who was born in England but did most of her work in Mexico. If you like fantasy/surrealist art and don’t know Carrington’s work, or do know it but have only seen a few examples, I strongly recommend that you purchase this book immediately. I want to praise Susan Aberth and her publisher as well as Carrington, however: this book is everything I think an art book should be—and that too few of them are. The photographs of the art are clear, numerous, mostly full page, and all in vivid color (except for a few photographs of people that were not in color to begin with). Aberth’s text is also illuminating, describing Carrington’s life, bringing out her major themes (such as her blending of myths and symbols from disparate cultures, particularly Celtic [her family background] and Mexican [her adopted background], and her feminist view of alchemy as a form of cooking), and analyzing several paintings in detail. Her analysis almost always refers to features that can actually be seen in the reproductions—which is by no means always the case in art books, I’ve found. Her language is clear and easy to understand, not drowning in academic art-critic-ese. I have admired Carrington’s work for a long time, and I definitely felt that I understood it, and her, better after reading Aberth’s commentary. Review: Happy with this Carrington book! - I've wanted this book for a while and this paperback version is perfect. The color plates of her artwork are really beautiful. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #99,882 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #78 in Individual Artist Monographs #116 in Arts & Photography Criticism #263 in Art History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars (355) | | Dimensions | 9.75 x 0.5 x 11.38 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1848220561 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1848220560 | | Item Weight | 1.95 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 160 pages | | Publication date | March 28, 2010 | | Publisher | Lund Humphries Publishers Ltd | ## Images ![Leonora Carrington: Surrealism, Alchemy and Art - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Yr88U616L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ wonderful artist, and everything an art book should be *by L***) on October 30, 2016* This is one of only two books in English that I know of devoted to Leonora Carrington, a fantastic (in all senses) Surrealist artist and writer who was born in England but did most of her work in Mexico.
