Leonora Carrington, Ab eo quod. 1956. Oil on canvas, 71.1 x 61 cm.
An embroidered fire screen bears the Latin words Ab eo quod nigram caudum habet abstine terrestrium enim decorum est, which is a fragment from the Asensus Nigrum, an obscure alchemical text from 1351. This roughly translates as: “Keep away from any with a black tail, indeed, this is the beauty of the earth.”

Edvard Munch, The Sick Child. 1885-1886. Oil on canvas, 120 x 118.5 cm.
The only influences in The Sick Child were my home; my home was to my art as the midwife is to her children. I remember it well - those were the days of pillows, of sickbeds, of feather quilts. But I firmly believe that scarcely any of these painters has ever experienced the full grief of their subject as I did in The Sick Child. Because it was not just I who was suffering then: it was all my nearest and dearest as well.
