Lithograph By Léonor Fini (1907-1996) Feline Woman

Elegant lithograph by Leonor Fini depicting a dreamlike female figure, half woman, half feline creature, evolving in a mysterious universe surrounded by cats – the artist's favorite animals. The body is articulated and sculptural, enhanced with details evoking costume, armor, and vegetation. The line is both precise and sensual, in a soft palette on Japanese paper. A rare work, typical of the symbolic bestiary and sacred feminine so dear to Leonor Fini. Leonor Fini (1907–1996) was a key artist of the 20th century. Born in Buenos Aires, raised in Trieste, she lived in Paris where she frequented the Surrealists while maintaining an independent artistic approach. Painter, illustrator, decorator, and writer, she asserted herself through a symbolic and sensual universe dominated by powerful female figures, often linked to metamorphosis, dreams, theater, and the strange. Her work is now celebrated in numerous private collections and museums. Style: Surrealism / Fantasy / Female Mythology Condition: Very good condition – slight natural ripples in the Japanese paper Loose sheet dimensions: 52x68 cm
