About one year ago, I fell in love with a self portrait by Leonora Carrington at the Met. I was drawn the the eeriness and darkness of her subjects. Influenced by her partner, Max Ernst, the two collaborated until the turbulations of WWII. To learn more about her work and their love story, go here.

If you're not already familiar with her, you MUST check out the works (and life) of Leonora Carrington's friend and collaborator in Mexico, Remedios Varo. Another great story and spectacular work.
