Leonora Carrington is perhaps the most enchanting of the women surrealists. The daughter of Anglo Irish privilege, she broke free of her manor-house upbringing and fled, first to art school, and then to the continent. Though she is best known as a painter of the gothic fantastic, with a cult following and one-woman shows at museums around the world, her writing is no less striking. 'Down Below' describes the events of 1940, when, after her longtime lover, artist Max Ernst, was sent to a concentration camp, Carrington was 'led across the border of Knowledge' and imprisoned in a sanatorium for the insane.
