Who is the Italian female Surrealist?
1 Answer

The Italian female Surrealist is Leonor Fini. Although she was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1907, her parents separated soon after, and her mother took her to Trieste, Italy, where she grew up, so many consider her to be Italian. Although she had no formal art education, Fini created prints, paintings and drawings that were widely revered for their sensuous qualities and raw energy. Some of her most famous works include Little Hermit Sphinx, La Toilette Inutile, Woman Seated on a Naked Man and La Semaine de Bonté. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of Leonor Fini at.

Leonor Fini (1907-1966) was an emblematic painter, illustrator, writer, scene painter and draftswoman; one of her favorite subjects was human bodies painted with hybrid shapes, as animals, plants or minerals. Her subjects are neither naked nor dressed, their body is crossed by nervous tissues, veins and blood vessels.
