The exhibition presents sketchbook drawings by Leonora Carrington (1917–2011) created at the outbreak of the Second World War during a period of profound personal and political upheaval. It’s on view from 25th March to 28th June 2026 at the Freud Museum London.\n\nFrom designer Oliver Long:\n\n> Set in Tradition by Bold Decisions — A digitisation inspired by Percy Delf Smith’s calligraphic work. English and eccentric, just like Carrington.\n\nAbout the exhibition:\n\n> Gathering together the currently-scattered sketchbook drawings of the British-born, naturalised Mexican surrealist artist Leonora Carrington made between 1939–1941, The Symptomatic Surreal traces Leonora Carrington’s experiences of fleeing Nazi-occupied France, her hospitalisation in a sanatorium in Santander, Spain, and her exile in New York. Through these drawings, the exhibition offers a rare encounter with the visions that shaped her early work. In this exhibition, Carrington grapples with geopolitical crisis, transformation of the self, and the underworld, anchored by her seminal painting Down Below (1940), on show for the very first time in London.\n\n\n\n\n_**Source: www.instagram.com **Oliver Long.
