Surreal Friends:
Leonora Carrington,
Remedios Varo and Kati Horna

Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo and Kati Horna -
an English painter, a Spanish painter & a Hungarian
photographer - met in Mexico City in 1943. All three
had recently fled war-torn Europe and together they
shared memories of Paris, Surrealism, the Spanish Civil
War, and the outbreak of World War II. Surreal Friends
celebrates the friendship of these three women, with
the first substantial display of Carringon's work in Britain
for 19 years, and the first ever comprehensive showing
of works by her friends Varo and Horna in the UK.

Fittingly, the exhibition is held in Chichester, near
West Dean, the estate of the Surrealist patron Edward
James, a supporter and friend of all three artists, who
spent much time in Mexico, both in the capital and in
his Surrealist garden Las Pozas in Xilitla.
