<h1>Painter Leonora Carrington Honored by New Google Doodle</h1>

On the off chance that you're asking why today's Google Doodle delineates a crocodile-molded pontoon bearing five little crocodiles and being paddled by a bigger 6th, look no more distant than the work of surrealist painter Leonora Carrington, who might have been 98 on Monday.

The painted creation, titled How Doth the Little Crocodile and in view of a comparatively titled ballad by Lewis Carroll, is significant of the notorious craftsman's bizarre and superb style. Conceived in Lancashire in 1917, Carrington was pulled in to workmanship in spite of extensive resistance from her rich material maker father. She absconded with eminent German surrealist painter Max Ernst in 1937, and the couple moved to Paris together.

At the point when Ernst was captured at the episode of World War II (before moving to America and wedding workmanship supporter Peggy Guggenheim), a crushed Carrington fled to Spain and therefore advanceed to Lisbon, New York City lastly Mexico City, where she lived until her demise in 2011.
