Leonora Carrington returns to the MAM with her Magical Tales

Leonora Carrington arrived in Mexico fleeing the war and a psychiatric confinement, and here she found the place where her imagination could breathe. Magical Tales gathers at the Museo de Arte Moderno the lesser-known sides of the British-Mexican artist: dreams as raw material, hybrid creatures, a private mythology that never asked permission to exist. Among the works is Down Below, where she turns her breakdown in Santander into a visual narrative. This is no solemn retrospective but an invitation to step inside her mind. Walked room by room with ArtGuide, each painting reveals details you would otherwise miss.
