Leonor Fini with Le Rêve de Leonor 📷 André Ostier, 1949 "Without ever dissociating her life from her art, she crossed time & place with remarkable artistic autonomy, transposing her avant-garde ideals onto the canvas with force & determination." - Laurianne Simonin

Fini looks over her very large puppet-like self-portrait sculpture.

More feathers & intense gazes: another Denise Colomb shot of two great surrealist artists, Leonor Fini & Leonora Carrington, from 1952. Is that a Fini painting behind them?

The two pose in front of a painting, almost completely covered in feathered headdresses.

Portrait de Léonor Fini 📷 Dora Maar, c. 1934 Maar was such a fine portrait photographer. Without masks and feathers, we see here, perhaps, the real Fini.
