Leonor Fini (1907 – 1996)
Born in Buenos Aires to Italian and Argentine parents, Leonor grew up in Trieste, Italy, raised by her strong-willed, independent mother, Malvina. She was a virtually self-taught artist. Her career, which spanned some six decades, included painting, graphic design, book illustration, product design, and set and costume design for theatre, ballet, opera, and film.

i always imagined i would have a life very different from the one that was imagined for me
but i understood from a very early time that i would have to revolt in order to make that life
now i am convinced that in any creativity there exists this element of revolt

I trust you enjoy this visit and may you be enriched with the work of masters of art
