Adrian Tchaikovsky: Didn’t Mary & Bryan Talbot do a graphic novel about her a year ago?

I am just a little deja vue about this, because surely I have seen Leonora Carrington being rediscovered on previous occasions? But find this a bit of a pattern with women creators perhaps.... constantly needing rediscovery?

I love Leonora Carrington's work. Her life story is truly fascinating, and her best friend in her Mexico years, Remedios Varo, was the inspiration behind the Surrealist painter Anna Naverra in my novel The Wood Wife. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Long ignored, at last the surrealist art of Leonora Carrington is getting the attention it’s duewww.theguardian.com The artist and writer is celebrated in a new UK show – but why was a woman of such talent so little known in her lifetime, asks her cousin?

I think I’ve seen at least one rediscovery too.
