        Leonora Carrington and the international avant-garde

        by Edited by Jonathan P. Eburne, Catriona McAra

        Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) was an English surrealist artist and writer who emigrated to Mexico after the Second World War. As the first comprehensive examination of Carrington's writing and art, this volume approaches her as a major international figure in modern and contemporary art, literature and thought. It offers an interdisciplinary exploration of the intellectual, literary and artistic currents that animate her contribution to experimental art movements throughout the Western Hemisphere, including surrealism and magical realism. In addition to a substantive editorial introduction, the book contains nine chapters from scholars of modern literature and art, each focusing on a major feature in Carrington's career. It also features a visual essay drawn from the 2015 Tate Liverpool exhibition Leonora Carrington: Transgressing Discipline, and two experimental essays by the novelist Chloe Aridjis and the scholar Gabriel Weisz, Carrington's son. This collection offers a resource for students, researchers and readers interested in Carrington's works, and contributes to her continued rise in global recognition.

        Das Haus der Angst

        by Leonora Carrington, Edmund Jacoby, Heribert Becker, Christiane Meyer-Thoss

        "Wo kommen auf einmal diese beiden sonderbaren Gestalten her, die langsam die Straße entlanggehen, gefolgt von tausend Zwergen? Ist das der Mann, den man wegen seiner sanften und grimmigen Gemütsart Loplop, den obersten der Vögel, nennt? ... Und die Frau, um deren Oberarm sich eine dünne Blutspur windet – sollte das etwas die Windsbraut sein?" So fragt Max Ernst in seiner Einleitung zur Titelgeschichte dieses 1988 von der "Windsbraut" zusammengestellten Bandes, der fünf weitere Erzählungen und zwei Romane ("Der kleine Francis" und "Unten") enthält. Leonora Carrington (geboren 1917) entfloh früh dem großbürgerlichen Milieu, um mit Max Ernst, "Loplop", nach Paris und dann weiter nach Südfrankreich zu ziehen. Ihr Schlüsselroman "Der kleine Francis" (hier zum ersten Mal auf deutsch) schildert, phantastisch verkleidet, die Erlebnisse des Sommers 1937 im provenzalischen Saint-Martin-d’Ardèche. Max Ernst wurde nach Ausbruch des Krieges interniert. Als Carringtons Befreiungsbemühungen fehlschlugen, floh sie nach Spanien. Unterwegs wurde sie wahnsinnig. Unten, ihr berühmter Bericht, beschreibt den Abstieg in das Reich des Wahns und wie sie ihm unter Aufbietung aller Willenskräfte entkam – und endet mit einem Postskriptum aus dem Jahr 1987. Da wohnte Leonora Carrington, die Malerin, Autorin, Surrealistin, schon seit vielen Jahren, hochberühmt und kaum erreichbar, in Mexiko.

        Intersections

        Women artists/surrealism/modernism

        by Series edited by Amelia Jones, Marsha Meskimmon, Patricia Allmer

        Featuring new essays by established and emerging scholars, Intersections: Women artists/surrealism/modernism redefines conventional surrealist and modernist canons by focusing critical attention on women artists working in and with surrealism in the context of modernism. In doing so it redefines critical understanding of the complex relations between all three terms. The essays address work produced in a wide variety of international contexts and across several generations of surrealist production by women closely connected to the surrealist movement or more marginally influenced by it. Intersections explores work in a wide range of media, from painting and sculpture to film and fashion, by artists including Susan Hiller, Maya Deren, Birgit Jurgenssen, Aube Elléouët, Dorothea Tanning, Claude Cahun, Elsa Schiaparelli, Joyce Mansour, Leonor Fini, Mimi Parent, Lee Miller, Leonora Carrington, Ithell Colquhoun and Eileen Agar.

        Mary Kelly

        Projects, 1973–2010

        by Edited by Dominique Heyes-Moore

        Mary Kelly, we are told, was not a feminist artist, but a feminist who made art. Designed to accompany a major retrospective at the Whitworth Art Gallery, this book contains essays and interviews which show the implications of that distinction and also the legacy of feminists and feminism in relation to art. Challenging and beautiful, Kelly's artworks address questions of sexuality, identity and historical memory in the form of large-scale narrative installations. The works are agilely discussed in contributions by some of the luminary feminist art scholars of our time, including Janet Wolff, Laura Mulvey, Carol Mavor and Amelia Jones, making this collection an essential new text in the discourse on art, feminism, psychoanalysis and representation.
