PAINTINGS

a surrealistic self-portrait painted by Leonara Carrington. Wearing tight white jodhpurs and an olive green jacket, she is sitting on the left with her right arm reaching toward a striped hyena. Floating behind her wild mane of hair is a white rocking horse, in almost the same position as a white horse seen leaping outside a window.

LEONORA CARRINGTON
A painting by Gertrude Abercrombie showing a desolate barren landscape. On the left is a skeletal tree with a small pink flag attached to one of 2 branches. Above it is a full moon. A dark cloudy sky is rent by a patch of blue sky opening up just above a pyramid.
A Terribly Strange Tree (1949)
A painting by Gertrude Abercrombie. A woman in a long sleeveless blue dress is dived in half. On the right is her torso floating in the air above a white pitcher sitting on the floor. She reaches out with her right arm toward the lower half of her body across the room on our left.
Split Personality (1954)
A painting by Gertrude Abercrombie. It's night at a beach. A man with a black mask over his eyes stands in points his right hand like a gun at a woman in a long pink dress who has her arms open at sides and half raised. A pink cloud floats over the man's head in the black sky. An owl faces us sitting on the sand. A shell lies near the feet of the woman. Awhite lighthouse stands in the distance on small island in the blue sea.
The Courtship (1949)
A painting by Gertrude Abercrombie. The lower third of the painting is land, painted a rich deep green. The upper two thirds, the sky, is brown, cloudy. A ladder standing up magically in the foreground reaches up to a curvy crescent moon. Another ladder further back and to the right reaches a pink cloud.
