La autonomía corporal en las pinturas de Leonora Carrington
2021/2022 Submission
Abstract
The aim of this short essay was to first analyze the masculine gaze as a Surrealist artistic method and secondly to determine how and to what extent the works of British-Mexican artist Leonora Carrington intentionally defied this default view. Using three specific paintings as examples, it looks at representations of binary gender, specifically the embodiment of femininity, to determine the feminine characters’ levels of inherent agency versus their fate of resting as the “complementary feminine” muse to the masculine artist.
