The young Leonora Carrington is one of many looking for an alternative, new way of life when she moves to Paris in the 1930s. A daring venture, far from the life her parents envisioned for her. She was born in 1917 to a wealthy textile manufacturer in Lancashire, England. Studying art in London, she imagines that a life in Paris would satisfy her growing need for freedom, drawn to the city’s group of Surrealist artists.<\/p>\n

In Paris, the barely twenty-year-old meets the surrealists and – despite the disapproval and threats of her father – starts dating Max Ernst.\u00a0<\/span><\/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
