Some of you out there have requested that I cover Leonora Carrington for a while now so I thought I’d make my last video of the year based on her magical and strange artwork. In this video we’re going to be briefly exploring the life and story of Carrington as well as taking a good look at some of her most noteworthy masterpieces.

    I did a project on Leonora this past semester in Uni for my women in art history class. I was able to get in touch with her grandson and interview him. It was so amazing to hear him talk about a woman who constantly inspired me as an artist, but to him was his grandmother. His stories were incredible and it was such an amazing experience

    Lenora Carrington wrote my favorite book. It's called The Hearing Trumpet. The main character is 98 years old.

    I think this was a very interesting piece. She really had an ability to both depict things very beautifully and serene but also very disturbing. It actually reminds me a bit of Goya in that way, not in the way she painted but how both of them had just that ability to depict both the horrific but also the very beautiful.
  • I love the creepy feminine mysticism aspect of Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo and Dorothea Tannings pieces 🥰 it's such a treat to find in-depth heartfelt coverage of their work. Thanks. B.D
  • The more I learn about her, the more she fascinates me. Thanks for the great video!

    My mother moved us to Mexico to be an artist. We were there until the end of 1962. She went to many art shows and went to el Jardin de Arte ( i might have spelled that wrong) and she was becoming successful. She was even invited to new York City to the Friends of Mexico art show, but she died before she could attend. She sold eleven paintings to Vincent Price and some other paintings to the Time-Life building in Chicago. But since i was a kid i really dont know who else she sold her work to. I wonder if she ever ran into this artist while in Mexico.

    Surrealism is one of genre I like a lot. And I have enjoyed Leonora Carrington work. Two suggestion on art video is anther Independent artist. The other is about symbolism.
  • Matt thank you for a year of really amazing and diverse videos with your really insightfull takes on the artists you have shared with us and the forays into world art too and the beauty in darker side of art and also for show casing the amazing work of artists that have messaged you as well in your indepedent artworks series. I have learnt a lot from your videos which you can tell as an artist yourself you have a different and empathic take on the art and artists you bring us and their lives. So happy you ended this year with a video on Leonra Carringtion. Her painting "self portrait (inn of the dawn horse)" is one of my favourite of her stunning paintings.I still feel the female surrealist artists and their work deserves to be more well known than it is,but glad you are changing this in your own way with your brilliant videos. Hope 2024 is an inspiring year for you and I look forward to more videos from you as well.(matt) P.s maybe you could also look at the work of Kay Sage and Dorothea Tanning two other remarkable female surrealist artists.
