Leonora Carrington again, this time in Paris

Three years ago, I posted about a trip to Madrid to hear Händel's Solomon with Ann Hallenberg and Miah Persson, taking in the big local art fair, ARCO, and a big exhibition of Leonora Carrington's work, while I was there.


I actually imagined, without looking for more accurate information, that the Paris exhibition, at the Musée du Luxembourg, would be the one I saw in Madrid, now travelling to France. It wasn't. This was a much smaller show. But, though I don't have an ounce of magic or spirituality or alchemy in me, I love Leonora Carrington's work - she's probably the only artist labelled 'surrealist' i like so much. So any Laura Carrington event is an important one to me, and along I went, on a hot and sunny spring day.

I've nothing more to say about it, other than that, though small, it otherwise didn't disappoint. Here, I'm just posting a few of my photos, including one of a piece by Remedios Varo, and another of one by Max Ernst, with whom Carrington lived for a while, decorating together a house in the south of France.
