Leonora Carrington: Alchemy, Feminism & Surreal Transformations - Paul Ferguson - 09-27-2025
"Her art didn’t just challenge the male surrealists’ views—it transformed them. Using secret symbols and feminist ideas, she turned old gender norms into something valuable. Scholars say her alchemical symbolism (like egg motifs and cosmic rebirths) stood for female power in a world dominated by muses, not makers."
