Poetic Obituaries: "She created mythical worlds in which

magical beings and animals occupy the main stage, in which cobras merge with goats and blind crows become trees," the National Arts Council wrote [of Leonora Carrington], adding, "These were some of the images that sprang from a mind obsessed with portraying a reality that transcends what can be seen."

She wrote magazine and newspaper articles, novels, essays and poems and made thousands of paintings, sculptures, collages and tapestries that were exhibited in Mexico City, New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Tokyo and many other artistic centers.
