Leonora Carrington was born in April 6, 1917 in Lancashire, England, and died May 25th, 2011 in Mexico City. She studied art in London, and in Italy. In 1937 Carrington moved to Paris, and was a central figure in surrealist circles. She lived in Sant Martin d’Ardeche with her lover Max Ernst before fleeing to Spain as the Nazi’s encroached on France. In Madrid she was involuntarily committed to an asylum. After her treatment she managed to evade being sent to a sanatorium in South Africa by her parents. She married Renato Leduc and moved to Mexico City, where she would live for most of the rest of her life.
