This is the first book in English to survey the life and work of Surrealist artist Leonora Carrington (born 1917). Carrington burst onto the Surrealist scene in 1936, when, as a precocious nineteen-year-old debutante, she escaped the stultifying demands of her wealth English family by running away to Paris with her lover Max Ernst. She was immediately championed by Andre Breton, who responded enthusiastically to her fantastical, dark and satirical writing style and her interest in fairy tales and the occult. Her stories were included in Surrealist publications, and her paintings in the Surrealists' exhibitions. After the dramas and tragic separations of the Second World War, Carrington ended up in the 1940s as part of the circle of Surrealist European emigres living in Mexico City. Close friends with Luis Bunuel, Benjamin Peret, Octavio Paz and a host of both expatriate Surrealists and Mexican modernists, Carringtion was at the centre of Mexican cultural life, while still maintaining her European connections. Leonora Carrington: Surrealism, Alchemy and Art provides a fascinating overview of this intriguing artist's rich body of work. The author considers Carrington's precoccupation with alchemy and the occult, and explores the influence of indigenous Mexican culture and beliefs on her production. This book is designed to enable policy and decision markers, policy analysts, and other actors involved in policy making processess to appreciate the full value of Integrated Policymaking in its environmental social and economic dimensions. It draws on decades of experience acquired by UNEP and other organizations in sustainability-motivated policy assessment and interprets these in the light of recent advances in public policy science. The book makes the case for IP to be considered as a normative policymaking approach, for solutions to be placed within a policy cycle, and for policy development to be aligned with prevailing political, institiutional and analytical realities.
