Taking an exhibition of "mysterious world" works written by women as an example, the art and form of female images in contemporary illustration

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to summarize the artistic language and image characteristics of Leonora Carrington, the Muse of the 2022 Venice Biennale, through the analysis of her works in an exhibition of "mysterious world" from women's pen, and then to study the artistic expression forms of women's images in contemporary illustrations. Leonora Carrington is a typical representative of surrealism. In his works, in addition to focusing on the "spiritual automation" of the subconscious and dreams, he also integrates Celtic culture, Renaissance paintings, Central American folk art, medieval alchemy and Jungian psychology. Most of his works focus on the half human and half animal images in the natural environment, and the combination of various wild animals. With the softness of women, they are merged into sacred and bizarre "magic temples". At the same time, it explores the themes of identity and gender, feminism and so on.
