Leonor Fini

Famous Bis

Leonor Fini was an Argentinian surrealist painter, designer, illustrator, and author, known for her depictions of powerful women. 

She was openly bi and a non-conformist when it came to relationships. On marriage, she once said, 

Marriage never appealed to me, I’ve never lived with one person. Since I was 18, I’ve always preferred to live in a sort of community — A big house with my atelier and cats and friends, one with a man who was rather a lover and another who was rather a friend. And it has always worked.
