Leonora Carrington's Surrealist Paintings Displayed in East Village Through September 16

An exhibition of Leonora Carrington's surrealist paintings from the mid-20th century Midwest is currently on view in New York's East Village neighborhood. The show runs through September 16, 2024. Alongside the visual artworks, a poetic tribute by David Pollard from his Self-Portraits series honors the influential painter. Carrington, a key figure in the Surrealist movement, created distinctive works that blended mythological and autobiographical elements. Her paintings from this period reflect her unique perspective within the broader Surrealist context. The East Village location provides a contemporary urban setting for these historical works. Pollard's poem adds a literary dimension to the presentation of Carrington's legacy. The exhibition offers viewers an opportunity to engage with Carrington's artistic contributions in a gallery environment.
