Leonor Fini - Head of a woman - Handsigned and numbered 2/150

Beautiful original hand signed and numbered lithograph by the artist Leonor Fini.

Fini had an Italian mother and an Argentine father, who left the family when she was very young. Leonor Fini grew up in the Italian city of Trieste, and went to Paris to become a painter. There she came into contact with the work of Paul Eluard, Max Ernst, Georges Bataille, Henri Cartier-Bresson, André Pieyre de Mandiargues and Salvador Dalí. During the years 1945-1948 she had an affair with Count Sforza-Galeazzo Sforza.
She painted portraits, including those of Jean Genet, Anna Magnani, Jacques Audiberti, Alida Valli, and Suzanne Flon. She also designed costumes and sets for the theater. Many of her more recent paintings deal with erotic fantasies and death. In the 1960s and 1970s, she wrote three novels and became friends with Jean Cocteau, Giorgio de Chirico, and Alberto Moravia.

The lithograph is limited 2 of 150 and hand signed in pencil by the artist.
