Leonor Fini was an Argentinian born Italian surrealist painter, designer, illustrator, and author, known for her depictions of powerful and erotic women.
Fini’s work was revolutionary. She explored sexuality and interrogated and asserted the position of the woman away from the traditional role as a muse or mother. With her continuous investigation into the notions of female identity, and her rejection of the rational, it is natural that Fini found herself so closely linked to the surrealist movement. But her relationship to the surrealist artists was a complex one. Over the past decade we have seen women that were historically considered on the sidelines of the surrealist movement being rightly cultivated as serious and significant artists.

What is special about exhibition and gallery posters is that they are an affordable way of getting good, unique art on the walls, as although it is not an artists original, neither is it something that has been mass reproduced.

Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm.

These posters are sent as unframed. They are delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
