Leonor Fini’s life was that of a lover of freedom. As a child, she discovered her passion for drawing and painting, learning by looking at the Old Masters. The young self-taught painter thus acquired a highly sophisticated painting technique inspired by Italian Mannerism and German Romanticism, as well as Magical Realism. Commissioned works in Milan soon followed, as did friendships with the Italian pioneers of Surrealism, Carlo Carr\u00e0 and Giorio De Chirico.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\t

In 1931, Paris beckoned. There, she met the leading Surrealists \u2013 Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paul \u00c9luard, Max Ernst, Ren\u00e9 Magritte, Salvador Dal\u00ed and Man Ray. Her imaginative and mystical works were soon included in the major Surrealist exhibitions: in 1936, for example, in both the International Surrealist Exhibition<\/i> in London as well as the pioneering MoMA exhibition in New York, Fantastic Art, Dada, Surrealism<\/i>. That same year, Fini also had her first solo exhibition in New York.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
