Léonor Fini (1907-1996)
An absolute icon of female Surrealism, an unclassifiable self-taught painter, muse and friend of some of the greatest artists (Jean Genet, Leonora Carrington, Meret Oppenheim, Anna Magnani, etc.).
Celebrated for her enigmatic and sensual portraits from the 1940s to the 1960s, she immortalized the artistic and intellectual elite of her time in a dreamlike and feline atmosphere that was uniquely her own. “Portrait of Caroline” is one of those intimate and powerful works that have become the legend of Léonor Fini: elegance, mystery, and a magnetic presence. An ideal collector’s item for discerning enthusiasts of Surrealist prints and 20th-century female art.
