Lots of text (in French) and not enough images. Quality good. Save your money for the catalogue raisonné.

5.0 out of 5 stars All about the 'other' powerful she-painter (not Frida or Tamara, once in a while)
Reviewed in Italy on April 27, 2022

This book is _so_ rich and interesting that I made 'as if' I knew French in order to read it (helped by both Italian in general, and my own NW Italian dialect). Written by an author who was in touch with Leonor Fini, it reconstructs her life in detail, and shows very many of her works in big sized pictures: not only paintings, but illustration, design, as well as costumes and sets for dramas. Many comments by friends and art critics are also included.
Though Leonor Fini, an often scandalous 'French Italian,', hung out with the Surrealist clan, she did never officialy join them, she indeed stressed her own independence. In brief, she simply was an original, brilliant, fascinating artist, who used to hide refined cultural hints in the dream atmospheres of her works. The phrase "Female Magic," alluring and dangerous at the same time, may summarize her approach.
The book documents all of that probably better than any other (or, possibly except the 350-euro volume also available, that I honestly did not buy and see).

5.0 out of 5 stars Una de las mejores compras
Reviewed in Spain on September 13, 2019

Considero este libro una especie de tesoro comprado a precio de risa. Es raro verme sorprendida gratamente cuando recibo un libro de arte, normalmente tiendo a llevarme pequeñas decepciones, quizás porque el tamaño sea inferior al que me esperaba, o porque el contenido sea algo pobre en número de imágenes o la calidad de estas. En este caso ha sido todo lo contrario. Tras esa portada anodina se esconde un libro completísimo, con profusión de imágenes de buena calidad que ofrece una amplia perspectiva de la vida y obra de la artista Leonor Fini.
Muy extenso también en textos que, eso sí, están en francés. Aún sin saber el idioma este libro es disfrutable de principio a fin.

Todavía no he terminado de leerlo, me llegó anteayer, pero me ha asombrado la claridad de la escritura (sin tener yo un nivel muy alto de francés), la calidad de las imágenes de cada obra, todo el periodo biográfico y la documentación que abarca,... Todo a un precio irrisorio para ser de las pocas obras sobre Leonor Fini que contiene tanto detalle. Una gran compra, lo recomiendo mucho.
