Leonora Carrington, Tiburón, ca. 1942, a stunner that needs to be seen up close to be really seen. A lot’s going on with this passenger fish, including an execution chamber in its basement. This month (April 2017) marked the Carrington centennial, and there are three brand new books of this unique artist and writer’s work: The Complete Stories (some never before published); Down Below, her brief but harrowing 1941 memoir; and the children’s book The Milk of Dreams, which brings together her writing and visuals in nine stories of the bizarre and dreamy, now available in English for the first time. Clearly time for a major Carrington revival. -- source link
