LEONORA CARRINGTON’S EXHIBITION AT ROSE ART MUSEUM
The Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University announces Leonora Carrington: Dream Weaver, the new exhibition opening on January 22, 2025. The exhibition, curated by Dr. Gannit Ankori, Henry and Lois Foster Director and Chief Curator, will feature over 30 of Carrington’s spellbinding artworks, loaned from private collections, which have rarely been on public display.
A pioneer of Surrealism, Carrington’s work crosses boundaries and mediums, embodying a boundless curiosity and unorthodox spirit that transcends the conventional. Born into a staid upper-middle-class Anglo-Irish family, Carrington would spend her life freeing herself from the gendered strictures imposed upon her. Carrington’s rebellious spirit found refuge in art and literature, leading her to join the Surrealist movement in Europe. Later, after suffering a mental breakdown and institutionalization, she immigrated to Mexico to escape fascism. Carrington would further develop her visionary art in her adopted homeland of Mexico, where she lived for the rest of her long and productive life.
Dream Weaver celebrates the artist’s creative and technical versatility, displaying pieces in tempera, gouache, acrylic, oil, pencil, pen, and fiber. The earliest works in the exhibition are drawings from 1933-34, including a 1934 self-portrait by the 17-year-old artist. Later drawings by Carrington offer an opportunity to trace the artist’s developing proficiency as a prolific draftswoman. Studies for completed works, such as two preparatory sketches for her 1947 painting Night Nursery Everything, give insight into how Carrington constructed her riveting paintings. In her art, Carrington conjures vivid, otherworldly landscapes populated with fantastical creatures and characters woven from the strands of her unique biography, influences from folklore, and her deep fascination with the occult.
Leonora Carrington: Dream Weaver reveals the complexities of an artist who once stated, “Everything is cosmic” and imbued stunning compositions with profound meaning and rich, symbolic layers. Her fantastical worlds reflect a lifelong pursuit of mystical knowledge, spiritual awakening, and an exploration of the human psyche. Visitors will encounter artworks that balance technical mastery with imaginative depth, illuminating the potent alchemy of myth, mysticism, and personal narrative that Carrington employed to unlock the mysteries of existence.
