  1. Looks like a rough sketch for the Rupert Annual 1957.

  2. It's amazing to find yet another great female artist being uncovered from the archaic graveyard of great works. Gone but not forgotten. Thanks for this.

  4. Wow. That was incredible. I spent a few months living and painting in San Miguel de Allende in 93'. I was born in 63'. Of course I've known of Frida Calho, but was unaware of the other surrealist group in Mexico. I wonder where Leonora lived at the time she did those sculptures? I may have passed by her side. I really admire elders... especially listening to one with her talent and experience. Thank you so much.
