SUMMARY:Leonora Carrington: Rebel Visionary at Newlands House Gallery
DESCRIPTION:12 JULY 26 OCTOBER 2024 \nWednesday to Saturday 10am – 5pm \nSunday 11am – 4pm \n\n\n\nIn May 2024 Leonora Carrington became the most successful female artist in UK history\, in terms of sales: her painting Les Distractions de Dagobert (1945) was sold at Sotheby’s in New York for USD$28.5 million. \nHer legacy is now on a new footing.  Last year\, the Wall Street Journal predicted she would be the next Frida Kahlo.  Like Kahlo\, Carrington’s life was as surreal as her paintings; like Kahlo\, she drew heavily on her own extraordinary experiences in her work.\nFor many years\, this eventful life story – especially her love affair with Max Ernst\, and her spell in a Spanish asylum\, which fascinated others in her Surrealist circles – have been central to discussions of her work.  But Carrington was no muse.  As she said: “I didn’t have time to be anyone’s muse… I was too busy rebelling against my family and learning to be an artist.” \n\n\n\nLeonora Carrington: Rebel Visionary (12 July – 26 October) will re-examine her work in the light of her posthumous success.  An artist who broke boundaries and created imaginative new worlds. Carrington was – like all the greats – a creator in many different directions.  As her long-time friend and patron Edward James said:  “She…never relinquished her love of experimentation; the results being that she [was] able to diversity and explore a hundred or more techniques for the expression of her creative powers.” \nThis summer\, Newlands House Gallery in Petworth\, Sussex brings together a wide range of Carrington’s work\, to show the span of her output across a wide range of media. Loans will include a wall of masks; a series of masks made for a theatrical production of The Tempest in the 1950s; original lithographs; tapestries; sketches; sculptures; jewellery – and of course paintings.  Together they will show the full range of Carrington’s prolific and original output\, across a career that spanned eight decades. \nAs the feminist art collective The Guerrilla Girls wryly commented\, being a woman artist comes with certain advantages: these include being able to work without the pressures of success\, and discovering your career picks up in your eighties. \nToday\, more than a decade after her death in May 2011\, Carrington’s time has come.  Newlands House Gallery will focus on the breadth\, the variety and the extraordinary imagination of work across her eight-decade career.   \n– Joanna Moorhead\, Exhibition Curator
