Lithograph By Leonor Fini (1907-1996) Women's Dance

Lithograph depicting three hybrid female figures, halfway between mythological creatures and theatrical fashion silhouettes. Leonor Fini's strange and sensual universe is fully expressed here: androgynous silhouettes, tense poses, sculptural heels, and extravagant hairstyles. The bodies, subtly eroticized and powerful, are both fragile and sovereign, in a staging evoking initiation or ritual. This work was produced in an edition of 150 copies, numbered 40/150 in the lower left corner and signed by the artist in the lower right corner. Leonor Fini (1907–1996), an artist of Italian-Argentine origin, is one of the major figures of Surrealism, although she always claimed her independence from the movement. A painter, illustrator, scenographer, and writer, she explored themes related to the sacred feminine, desire, dreams, and the fantastic. Her work, inhabited by powerful and enigmatic female figures, is recognizable among all by its baroque refinement and erotic freedom. She exhibited alongside Salvador Dalí, Max Ernst and Leonora Carrington, and remains today an icon of 20th-century art.
