Leonor Fini | Not a Muse, An Artist

Leonor Fini | Not A Muse, An Artist explores the life of Leonor Fini through her art. The exhibition included more than 40 artworks from the artist and also explores Fini’s relationships with her contemporaries through their oeuvre. Pieces from Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Max Ernst, Dorothea Tanning, Leonora Carrington, René Magritte, Joan Miró, Man Ray, Georges Bracque, and Victor Brauner were displayed together with Fini’s works.

The intent of the show is to bring the spotlight to one of the most talented artists who created an incredibly valuable array of art pieces within the Surrealist canon. We hope to expose our visitors to the life and oeuvre of an overlooked artist, while inviting the viewer to ponder on the unequal representation of women in artistic movements throughout time.
