Description : Conciliabula - Figure surrealiste

China ink on paper. Signed lower right. On the back is an art gallery stamp and the title 'Conciliabula' in pencil. Painter, scenographer, costume designer, writer, illustrator and draughtsman, Leonor Fini has said of her works: ""All my painting is a spell in an autobiography of affirmation that expresses the pulsating aspect of being; the real question is to transpose the sense of play onto canvas." Leonor Fini has created a painting that is "figurative in the signifier and abstract in the signified": she never abandons the figures, but elaborates her own pictorial modality that, taking different forms, incessantly stages her own self. The definitive code and mark of the essence of her painting lie in the search in the inner, dreamlike world of the meaning of femininity. In dreamlike or nightmarish atmospheres, the female figure conquers a space of its own, emphasised by the Finnian myths that always accompany it: cats, sphinxes, winged women, flower-women, angels, witches, medieval ladies and Amazons and priestesses, fairies and devils, skeletons, defenceless males and guardians. This drawing also features three female figures, recognisable in form but abstract in definition, standing in conciliation, as suggested by the title, which is intended to emphasise the mystery and perhaps the illicit nature of their encounter. The work is presented in a frame.
