Bold, theatrical, and fiercely independent – Leonor Fini was one of the most intriguing figures of 20th-century art. This catalog, created to accompany the exhibition at Palazzo Reale in Milan, offers a powerful and immersive look at Fini’s world, where myth, identity, and femininity take center stage.
Spanning her entire career, the catalog features more than 100 works – from visionary paintings and costume designs to personal photographs and rare archival materials. It traces Fini’s artistic evolution from her early days in Trieste and Milan to her life in Paris, where she defied the conventions of the surrealist movement while still being one of its most recognizable and influential voices.
Insightful essays by contemporary curators and scholars explore her approach to storytelling, symbolism, and the female gaze, as well as her deep involvement with stage design, literature, and fashion. Designed with the same elegance and eccentricity that marked Fini’s own life, this catalog is both a scholarly reference and a celebration of a truly original creative force.
A must-have for admirers of surrealism, feminist art, and the avant-garde.
