Out of This World: The Surreal Art of Leonora Carrington<\/a>
\nby Michelle Markel (Author) and Amanda Hall (Illustrator)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> Ever since she was a little girl, Leonora Carrington loved to draw on walls, in books, on paper–and she loved the fantastic tales her grandmother told that took her to worlds that shimmered beyond this one, where legends became real.<\/p>\n

Leonora\u2019s parents wanted her to become a proper English lady, but there was only one thing she wanted, even if it was unsuitable: to be an artist. In London, she discovered a group of artists called surrealists, who were stunning the world with their mysterious creations. This<\/em> was the kind of art she had to make. This<\/em> was the kind of person she had to be.<\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong> But nothing kept Lenora from painting–not struggling to earn money, not tending to her husband and her children.<\/p>\n

She painted with a baby in one hand, a paintbrush in the other. She was like a wizard, stirring egg into her tempera paints, mixing cinnabar, vermilion, and golden umber.<\/p>\n
