In this book, Gabriel  Weisz Carrington draws on remembered conversations and events to  demythologise his mother, revealing the woman and the artist behind the  iconic persona.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe  travels between Leonora’s native England and adopted homeland of  Mexico, making stops in New York and Paris and meeting some of the  remarkable figures she associated with, from Max Ernst and André Breton  to Remedios Varo and Alejandro Jodorowsky. At the same time, he strives  to depict a complex and very real Surrealist creator, exploring Leonora  not simply in relation to her romantic partners or social milieus but as  the artist she always was.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA  textured portrait emerges from conversations, memories, stories and  Leonora’s engagement with the books that she read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57580289130870,"sku":"9781526169648","price":14.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27246209.jpg?v=1774845407","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781526169648-the-invisible-painting","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
