Female artist Leonora Carrington is most known for her dreamlike and Celtic-inspired surrealist artworks. Even though she was half-Irish, born in England, she would become influential in the Mexican Surrealist scene post World War II. She had an eventful life, having a relationship with famous painter Max Ernst, escaping World War II, and being forcefully admitted into an asylum in her early 20s.
In this video I’ll be going over her life as well as some of her most important artworks!

Great video, thanks for making it and running this channel. Feedback: rising inflection belongs in questions! Your narration consists of declarative sentences.

That must be my Swedish accent coming through! We have a tendency to use a lot of inflections, but thanks

thank-you. knew so little.... oh boy,waking up in an asylum...was there any reported "wrong" with her behavior? would it have put a man in a hospital?

Apparently distressed by the start of the war; a beloved life-partner being snatched away by the Gestapo [thankfully he survived] I think I recognise her as fellow aspergers, ASD would have had a bearing on how she processed trauma, how it exhibited to onlookers - obviously anyone would be upset, but I think with ASD it can be intense inside the head - she probably just needed a friendly, safe quiet home to hide in for a while, & a nice cup of Tea, calm down - But in those days any 'excitable' /'problematic' woman could be incarcerated & experimented on, far more so than men, & for the scantest of reasons.
