Max Ernst painted by Leonora Carrington. Notice the white horse with icicles. A rocking horse which they had purchased together for their flat in Paris became a significant symbol in their paintings. See also L.C.'s self-portatrait in a previous posting.
Leonora Carrington was born in Lancashire today in 1927 thus she is NINETY -congratulations! An artist and writer, once part of the Surrealists in Paris, and later she moved to Mexico. The photo of Leonora and her cat is exquisite, they look completely alike. Miao!
Li Yuan-Chia born today in 1929 in Lushan Hsu, China and he died in 1994 in Carlisle. He was an artist, poet, curator, and archivist. He ran the LYC Museum in Banks, on the roman wall, in the North West of England for many years. An extraordinary man in many ways he was a pioneer.
