Leonora in the Morning Light

Defiant, brilliant, and untamable, Leonora Carrington refused to live by anyone’s rules but her own. In the charged atmosphere of 1930s Paris, she falls under the spell of the Surrealist movement—and into a passionate, volatile love affair with the German artist Max Ernst. Together, they create a world where art and life blur, surrounded by icons like André Breton and Salvador Dalí, and build an otherworldly refuge in the south of France filled with sculpted creatures and strange, living dreams.

Leonora in the Morning Light is the epic true story of a woman who turned trauma into transcendence, creating beauty from chaos and forging a legacy that changed the history of modern art.
