Leonor Fini – Menagerie

The video is age-restricted because there are breasts and sexual situations — it’s Fini after all. Click the link to open it if you dare! Ha. The Olney Gleason Gallery is where the Kasmin Gallery used to be (same people? Different? Doesn’t look too different. Their description also mentions future exhibits which I probably noted…

Reading into the New Year

I’ve been doing a lot of reading since I got here before Xmas and I wanted to try to keep track of as much as I can. A few books were waiting for me: some because shipping to the US was too much especially for contributor’s copies (why punish the publishers?). So very happily reading…

Surrealism in Berlin

This week has been rather more hectic than expected so I’m jumping around and the roulette wheel lands on Surrealism in Berlin — specifically the exhibit at the Neue Nationalgalerie ‘Max Ernst to Dorothea Tanning: Networks of Surrealism’. Some helpful fellow (sorry, don’t think I got a name) came up at the end of my…

9 Women @ Nagas

In order to restore some order to life, the universe and this blog, I am backtracking to when it all became overwhelming which would be mid-October and yes — ha! — it’s getting on the last part of November, but maybe this week I can endeavour to catch up a little. I do mostly write…

Leonor Fini @ Nagas

Leonor Fini: Small Faces is at Nagas Gallery through May 24th and it’s a great opportunity to see some of Fini’s delicate work up close in an intimate environment. It is important to know that the gallery is on the second floor facing the street and you need to buzz the (at the time) unmarked…

Leonor Fini at the Kasmin Gallery

Fabulous jaunt to the city with art partner in crime, Stephanie, to see the Fini works at the Kasmin Gallery and enjoy a nice long chat over a fab lunch at the Mermaid CafĂ© and a little Chelsea thrifting. Here’s the list of all the works on display. It was verrrrrry cold so not a…

Visiting Leornora’s House

Catching up on my viewing as it seems to be one of the few things my exhausted brains can comprehend. Art — especially art by my trimulierate Carrington, Varo & Fini — is sustaining me when I am running on fumes and finally admitting to that fact. I am doing better about not taking on…

Surrealism, Tarot & Leonora

I am woefully behind on everything and making so little progress. What better time to watch some of the videos from the Biennale! This one of course I was very much anticipating. I know I have shared talks with Susan Aberth and Tere Arcq many times and they have spoken about Leonora and YET, there…

Listen Now: Surreal Noir 25 Aug 21

After a brief delay the August program has been archived: Surreal portraiture—Muse or artist? Can you fall in love with a picture? Can you fall in love with someone from a picture? What about sel-portrait? How do you conjure the image of yourself? How much do you reveal? How much do you hide? The image…
