In anticipation of the publication of 'The Invisible Painting: My Memoir of Leonora Carrington', and on Carrington's birthday no less,The Debutante will be in conversation with Daniel Carrington and Gabriel Weisz Carrington, Leonora's grandson and son.

About 'The Invisible Painting'

Since her death in 2011, the legendary Surrealist Leonora Carrington has been reconstructed and reinvented many times over. In this book, Gabriel Weisz Carrington draws on remembered conversations and events to demythologise his mother, revealing the woman and the artist behind the iconic persona [...] A textured portrait emerges from conversations, memories, stories and Leonora's engagement with the books that she read. Using the act of writing to process and understand the death of his mother, the author has produced a moving and fascinating account of life, art, love and loss.

'The Invisible Painting' (May 2021; Manchester Press) is available to pre-order here.
