Leonora Carrington

Leonora Carrington (1917–2011) was a British and Mexican surrealist painter and novelist who spent most of her adult life in Mexico City. She was one of the last surviving participants in the Surrealist movement of the 1930s, and she was a founding member of the women's liberation movement in Mexico during the 1970s. Her books include the magical realist novel The Hearing Trumpet and Skeleton's Holiday, a collection of short stories and poems.
