Biography
It has been said that Leonor Fini is the only artist to paint women without apology. Many of her paintings feature strong, beautiful women (at times resembling herself) in ceremonial or provocative situations. Men are often portrayed as lithe figures under the protection of her females. The sphinx and cats play major parts in her paintings, as does the theme of 'the double'. The artist herself lived with many cats; up to a total of 23 at one time. The illness of one of her cats could send her into a deep depression.
