Carrington produced a diverse body of work spanning painting, sculpture, writing, and theatre design. Born in Lancashire, England, in 1917, Carrington spent most of her life in Mexico, where her artistic practice flourished. Whilst primarily known for her visionary paintings and Surrealist imagery, Carrington’s later years saw an increased focus on bronze sculptures, which continue to captivate audiences for their otherworldly symbolism and narrative depth.

' 'And Then We Saw the Daughter of the Minotaur' depicts a temple scene where two boys are greeted by a moth-like leaf-goddess and a robed cow (who is, presumably, the daughter of the Minotaur). In the lower right-hand corner, a whippet watches a ghostly nymph dance down the hallway. When viewing the image, one’s eye moves from the boys to the leaf-goddess, to the daughter of the Minotaur, to the bubble-orbs and fallen rose in the foreground, to the dogs, before finally settling on the nymph. Bewilderment in its purest form, the lithograph offers just a slice of Carrington’s fully-realized (or surrealized) world.' (Katie Dwyer, W Magazine)
