“Cats are around me. They have always been there. They will always be there. Drawing them is as natural to me as breathing, writing, reading … I draw them while on the phone or while waiting for someone. I draw their sometimes very simplified forms, almost ideograms or even barbaric exaggerations; sometimes it’s what I believe to be their reality.”
Leonor Fini

La Galerie Minsky is pleased to present the dresses of Leonor Fini from Tuesday September 22

In the years following World War II, Leonor Fini was celebrated for her appearances at Parisian masked balls wearing elaborate costumes and masks in which she put as much creative force as in her paintings.

It was all about alchemy, witchcraft, self-transformation and a mysterious ritual of becoming a creature, an element, a radically different being.

She aimed high, and, thanks to her considerable imagination, succeeded in becoming a bird, an animal or even a mineral …
Among all her costume elements, the main pillars of her witchcraft were undoubtedly her masks.
