Thx Andrew, for posting this.

The Wikipedia article on her is also fascinating. It includes this quote from her:

"I didn't have time to be anyone's muse... I was too busy rebelling against my family and learning to be an artist." --Leonora Carrington, 1983

I quite like the paintings of hers I've seen online, although I don't recall seeing them for real. She also wrote novels. Quite a dynamo, she was.

[John Whitworth]

And she was madly in love with Lytton Strachey. Women are an enigma, eh?

It IS the same Carrington, isn't it?

[Stephen Collington]

No, John, you're thinking of Dora Carrington (no relation, apparently).

Anhyway, while I'm here, I'll just put in a plug for Carrington, the delightful film about her (that is, Dora C's) life, with the ever-beautiful Emma Thompson as the title character, and Jonathan Pryce as a wonderfully EdwardLearish (how pleasant to know!) Lytton Strachey.
