Leonora Carrigton vivió mas de sesenta años en México y fue donde realizó su principal obra, existen dos museos en San Luis Potosí, los invito a conocerlos.
I'd love to see her work for real! I was never excited about 'Surrealism' all my 40yrs until I recently found Leonara's work, I LOVE it! 💖 The Surrealists I knew of were men, who felt they were cutting edge, different yet their attitude to women did not match; stale, un-radical, boring
Piccasso/Dali were on posters & tea-towels as I grew up in pre-digital dark ages, but there just wern't ANY famous female artists & I never heard of Leonora, who's work is far better to me, until my 40s when I saw a SkyArts doc! Art-school elitists deny mainstream reality, prefer to believe inequality is a just an imaginary concept of dem pesky Feminists, when it's actually a human fact; we've been denied equal access to a full spectrum on the basis of an artists genitals; it's insane, & we all lose out. tf it seems to be finally changing in this more enlightened age..
The male surrealists get too much credit, and her, not enough. She was so imaginative and free. With a lot of the male surrealists, it's "woah, it's *this* but it also resembles boobies and vaginas!"
I remember seeing Leonora in a documentary. She wouldn't agree with all the high furluting talk about her work. She was a down to earth woman. She was asked what does this painting mean. Her answer. It means nothing. It's just a painting . Something she can do.
Please stop intellectualizing her art wok she didn’t like it. All of these so called art experts love to tell us how to interpret her and other artists work which is ridiculous and snobbery at its worst.
that's the game ~~ many people think artists themselves are snobbish but really it's primarily the culture of "art criticism" that makes everything so pretentious. but artists often have to play the game of these gatekeepers.
@@pumpernickelplace Watch out for the artists who are good at playing that game. They may be charlatans. I knew two on the faculty where I went to college. They were quite articulate but they were better at smooth talk than at the actual work. Carrington was pretty outspoken about NOT playing the game.
Pumpernickel very true. in the 19th century the game was the Paris salon. If you wanted to be a successful artist you had to show your art work there. I am obsessed with the Paris salon and 19th century art. Check out my boards on Pinterest “Kenton Brandt”.
@@dontaylor7315 Interesting. I hadn't thought about that, maybe had sensed a bad vibe from these artists who play the game well as you say. But never made the connection that that could be an art scam, which now you said it and now that I been looking into "surrealist" artists like Leonora I start to understand what they meant about the "bourgeois" pretensiousness of art criticism. It really kills the fun of art, sure killed it to me for awhile.
Rather akin to Richard Dadd who anticipated surrealism by 100 years. There were several female artists in the excellent exhibition of Egyptian surrealism at TL a while back !
While in Mexico, I wonder if she spent any time with curandera Maria Sabina in Huautla de Jiménez, Oaxaca, or had occasion to visit Palenque and perhaps participate in a mushroom ceremony. (Not that she needed to...)
it's funny because her paintings resemble -and have a little the same atmosphere -to those of leonore fini, the french surealist painter (which was of a higher level, in my opinion; but I'm french). did they meet ? it's possible
I didn’t know about Fini. Very interesting. And yes they knew eachother very well I think, there are photographs of them together and letters they exchanged.
They were Visions dream Vision she had I have the same ones sometimes memories of the first age it represents Hera if you take the tarot cards and look at the hermit and if you draw a tree behind them and the background like it's far away you'll realize that he is like the statue carved out of a tree just like her
She is of the likes as Remedios Varo and Dorothea Tanning. Interesting to see the distorted body-shapes. Like they were made out of dreamstuff rather than flesh.
Where are you coming from?? She was living with Max Ernst in Paris and went through one of the most traumatic experiences there, loss and trauma that precipitated her move to Mexico. Her father was a monster.
......Artist Owns their creativity /. my my ignorance say me, how to escape from our culture suddenly it appear in one form of religiosity symbols. Even this presenters say ; like the virgin Maria or ..bla bla . in searching our own Noise voice .
These art haters just can't help inserting their witch language into everything they talk about, can they ? Magic, mythological creatures, ritual, sacred serpent, deities, shapeshifters, mother goddess...all exactly the same as those shithouses at R3 spew constantly in between the music.
When the Tate in Liverpool first opened years ago it was full of total crap. Bits of paper on bits of string. You know that kind of thing. Nothing to do with art. The sort of thing you'd teach five year olds to make in school. BUT here we've actually got a painter who covers all of the canvas with figures and I'm pleasantly surprised. The paintings themselves looked OK, bit dark but they were real paintings. However if you really want to see the good stuff go to the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. Now that's a treasure trove of art. Kind regards to all - Chris in Thailand
Would that make her a better person or artist if she'd been forced to wash 'cloths' for money? I don't know if her family gave her any money after she ran away from them. I somewhat doubt it. If they did it would be small recompense for what they did to her throwing her in that Spanish asylum.
Visiting an exhibition of children's drawings, Picasso (according to Roland Penrose) said: ``When I was their age I could draw like Raphael, but it took me a lifetime to learn to draw like them.''
@@pumpernickelplace But as with everything: rebell and breaking the convention; finding greatness in the small or simple; being peaceful and humble - those are nothing if it's only because you cannot do nothing else. And it is only a sign of mastery if you possess the skill and quality to choose
This is breathtaking. I so wish I had seen this exhibition.

Gracias Guillermo Rodas por la información.
Gracias por la información. No sé cuando viajaré a su país lindo....
@@cacambo589 Serás bienvenido.
Ojala los visite.
That camera operator needs to learn how to pan more slowly. Or preferably just to zoom in and out very slowly instead.
@TheKnittingKitten That would’ve been extremely helpful it’s rather frustrating really. I’m 2 yrs late to your observation/this otherwise fine glimpse
En mi opinión Leonora es extraordinaria artista. Y muchas gracias por la realización de este video.

I hope you've discovered Carrington's good friend, Remedios Varo.
How artists like this were erased from popular art history is beyond me
@M 4D what a sort of wonderful thing to say
@M 4D Maybe not the whole world, maybe there's hope. Mexico recognized Carrington's talent even if England and the US didn't.
She hasn't been erased
@@readbetweenthelineslll1635 not being a household name like similar artists, is a form of erasure

I'm so glad I clicked on this video. Thank you.

Leonora loved the idea of Liverpool, sadly she never set foot in it.
Numerous inaccuracies in the narration, but great to see the paintings.
She needs to be included in art history books.
Nancy Benner She is.
The male surrealists get too much credit, and her, not enough. She was so imaginative and free. With a lot of the male surrealists, it's "woah, it's *this* but it also resembles boobies and vaginas!"
@Thomas Bell quality wins out over time, I hope. I agree, I'm in for a movie about her.
Another Great British Artist
I was so captivated by the background music. I wonder who the singer is?
I went to this exhibition it was amazing a true artist
My favorite is "Green Tea," a painting of deep peace.
I do not know this one? Will look it up.
Amazing
If you love these paintings, look at the work of Remedios Varo, also a transplant to Mexico and whom I think surpasses LC in many ways.
I like Carrington, but I love Remedios Varo. They worked in the same genre and were friends in Mexico.
absolutely! she's outstanding as well!
I remember seeing Leonora in a documentary. She wouldn't agree with all the high furluting talk about her work. She was a down to earth woman. She was asked what does this painting mean. Her answer. It means nothing. It's just a painting . Something she can do.
L'art pour l'art! Good for her.
Well done! I admire Leonora Carrington´s work!
I wonder if I saw that Museo Antropologico mural. I was there in 1967 and I can't be sure if I remember it.
yes!
Wow amazing 😇

I am working on my second surrealist painting. It is very interesting to try to tap into my subconscious.

💙💙💙
Honesty is the best policy 🤺
Just watched a bbc documentary about her, I had to come and see more.
She seems to have been influenced by Bosch.
I've thought that too.

Arif Khan still: at least Hieronymus didn’t top his pop
Love Leonora

At least this video had a good presentation I give it 5 stars!
it's funny because her paintings resemble -and have a little the same atmosphere -to those of leonore fini, the french surealist painter (which was of a higher level, in my opinion; but I'm french). did they meet ? it's possible
Leonor Fini was not french and also very different artist
I didn’t know about Fini. Very interesting. And yes they knew eachother very well I think, there are photographs of them together and letters they exchanged.
what do you mean by "higher level"? thank you
Toda su obras la realizó en México donde vivió 60 añosa
I was John Proctor
They were Visions dream Vision she had I have the same ones sometimes memories of the first age it represents Hera if you take the tarot cards and look at the hermit and if you draw a tree behind them and the background like it's far away you'll realize that he is like the statue carved out of a tree just like her
No she got all her art work ideas from drugs ?? Duh
a bit of Bosch influence
You rock lady 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Ignore the wanks who's opinions about opinions are less than a opinion.😱
a paleta de cor e o excesso parece ate daquelas revista doida de crente muito doida
A bad production, the presenter keeps getting in the way of and distracting from the genius of the pictures which are too often out of focus.
was goo hugh savage self taught artist
---YO RETRATÉ MUCHA OBRA DE ESA ADMIRABLE ARTISTA..CUANDO FUÍ FOTOGRAFO DEL- INBAL-
She is of the likes as Remedios Varo and Dorothea Tanning. Interesting to see the distorted body-shapes. Like they were made out of dreamstuff rather than flesh.
Her BEST paintings are the portraits of Maria Felix. Salutations from, USA.
Giantess? That's the egg guardian
I think she was deep down a figure painter til Max Ernst got a hold of her. Love her work.
SUBLIME....
Subversive pagan paintings that embraced chaos, her brush was embellished with esoteric undertones.
is the presenter on valium?
“Had rebelliously turned her back on her upper class upbringing in England, she joined the surrealists in Paris” I’m guessing daddy payed for the trip
So what.
Shut up bitch wtf are you talking about
Where are you coming from?? She was living with Max Ernst in Paris and went through one of the most traumatic experiences there, loss and trauma that precipitated her move to Mexico. Her father was a monster.
I'm guessing you mean "paid"?
no, he did not
If you turn your back on your family they must of done some pretty bad shit. I hope she wasn’t Molested.
Can’t believe I missed this exhibition, boo hoo !
And I have I swear to petrified egg that looks identical to her that one right there otherwise it's a rock but I can't be coincidence
She's a female Hyeronimus Bosch.

Great paintings but (turned her back on her upper class upbringing) i bet she kept the cash though and wasn't washing cloths for a living eh.
Would that make her a better person or artist if she'd been forced to wash 'cloths' for money? I don't know if her family gave her any money after she ran away from them. I somewhat doubt it. If they did it would be small recompense for what they did to her throwing her in that Spanish asylum.
She would hate the fact that you are attempting to intellectualize her work.
yeah yeah you saw one tiny interview ant you think you're an expert now!
but the quality of her work isn't at all masterful, rather inferior to the great artists of yesteryear's

It's not psychedelic. I suspect she didn't drop acid. Carrington is a one-off with her own vision.
