For centuries, modernity has separated science from spirit, humanity from nature, reason from intuition. We\u2019ve gained extraordinary knowledge, but perhaps lost something essential: a sense of participation in a living, mysterious universe. The resurgence of interest in witchcraft reflects a longing to recover that relationship.<br><br>The witch is compelling because she represents autonomy, imagination, and an intimate knowledge of the natural world. Historically, accusations of witchcraft often enforced religious and social conformity, particularly among women. Today, the witch has been reclaimed as an archetype of resistance: someone who trusts her instincts and refuses prescribed roles.<br><br>Of course, there\u2019s a difference between the commercialization of witchcraft and its deeper traditions. A ritual, at its most meaningful, is an act of focused attention. And creativity itself can be a kind of magic: we take an intangible image or feeling and give it material form. In an age of technological advancement, ecological crisis, and spiritual uncertainty, we also need wonder, connection, and meaning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern ' data-pattern='ho\/text-magazin-interview'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12 col-md-6 col-md-offset-6 padding-bottom-5'>\t<p class='ho-sd-body'><strong>Someone who was already interested in witches a long time ago and features them heavily in her work, is Leonor Fini. What does Fini change about the traditional image of the witch in her art, for example in \u201cLe Sabbat ressuscit\u00e9\u201d (1957)?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-5 col-md-offset-7 col-xs-11 col-xs-offset-1'>\n\n<div  class='ho-tag is-primary is-small margin-bottom-3'>\t<p class='ho-tag-label'>Jessica Hundley<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>What I love about Fini\u2019s witches is that they seem completely uninterested in behaving themselves. For <strong>\u201c<\/strong>Le Sabbat ressuscit\u00e9,\u201d created with Jacques Audiberti, she made 35 etchings of unruly, erotic, humorous, sometimes absurd figures whose bodies shift between human, animal, and supernatural forms.<br><br>The familiar image of the witches\u2019 Sabbath emerged in 15th-century Europe, when authorities combined beliefs about harmful magic and nocturnal gatherings with the idea of a conspiracy devoted to the Devil. The Sabbath described in witch-trial records was largely a construction of persecuting authorities. Artists helped establish its imagery: Hans Baldung Grien\u2019s <strong>\u201c<\/strong>The Witches\u201d (1510) combined eroticism, danger, and supernatural disorder, while Goya later depicted terrifying nocturnal gatherings.<br><br>Historically, the witch embodied misogynistic fears of female sexuality, independence, aging, and knowledge. Fini overturns this image. Her witches are neither tragic victims nor monsters. They\u2019re self-possessed, pleasure-seeking, playful, and unconcerned with social approval. Humor becomes part of their freedom.<br><br>Her interest continued into her contribution to the inaugural issue of the feminist journal <em>Sorci\u00e8res<\/em> in 1976, although she resisted restrictive labels herself. She doesn\u2019t simply rehabilitate the witch; she lets her remain strange and unknowable. Her power lies in refusing to be domesticated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern ' data-pattern='ho\/medien-bild-drei-bilder'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-1'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-11 mobile-margin-bottom-5 col-md-7'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<figure itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/courtauld.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-from-le-sabbat-0x1400-c-default.jpg\"\n\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"external-image-class\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\n<figcaption id=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Leonor Fini, Le Sabbat ressuscit\u00e9, 1957, text by Jacques Audiberti<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/courtauld.ac.uk\/whats-on\/leonor-finis-witches\/\">courtauld.ac.uk<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-offset-0 col-xs-offset-0 col-xs-12 col-md-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-4 col-md-8'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-4 padding-top-4'>\t<figure itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_mJVyHD\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/thumb.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/7\/7e\/Francisco_de_Goya_y_Lucientes_-_Witches_Sabbath_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg\/960px-Francisco_de_Goya_y_Lucientes_-_Witches_Sabbath_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg?utm_source=en.wikipedia.org&#038;utm_campaign=index&#038;utm_content=thumbnail\"\n\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"external-image-class\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\n<figcaption id=\"media_mJVyHD\">\n\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Francisco Goya, Witches&#8217; Sabbath, 1797\u20131798<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Witches%27_Sabbath_(Goya,_1798)\">en.wikipedia.org<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-6 col-xs-offset-2 col-md-11 col-md-offset-1'>\t<figure itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_4naqTE\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/thumb.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/7\/75\/The_Witches%27_Sabbath_MET_DP826749.jpg\/960px-The_Witches%27_Sabbath_MET_DP826749.jpg?utm_source=de.wikipedia.org&#038;utm_campaign=index&#038;utm_content=thumbnail\"\n\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"external-image-class\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\n<figcaption id=\"media_4naqTE\">\n\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Hans Baldung, The Witches, 1510<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Witches_(Hans_Baldung)\">en.wikipedia.org<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern ' data-pattern='ho\/text-magazin-interview'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12 col-md-6 col-md-offset-6 padding-bottom-5'>\t<p class='ho-sd-body'><strong>You\u2019re an expert on all things esoteric art.

We\u2019ve included her work in every volume of TASCHEN\u2019s Library of Esoterica, whether exploring Tarot, astrology, witchcraft, or the spirit world. She was fundamentally interested in transformation, sexuality, nature, death, and the relationship between visible and invisible worlds.<br><br>I see her as one of the great mythmakers of the 20th century, drawing on Renaissance allegory, Romanticism, Symbolism, and Surrealism. Yet she resisted belonging to any movement. Although she exhibited alongside the Surrealists, she rejected Andr\u00e9 Breton\u2019s authority and the limitations of their predominantly masculine worldview. She wanted to construct her own mythology.<br><br>Her universe of sphinxes, priestesses, witches, and androgynous beings draws on esoteric symbols without adhering to any doctrine. Where women in Surrealism often appeared as muses or objects of desire, Fini made them the authors and guardians of their own mysteries. She didn\u2019t simply paint fantastic worlds; through costume, theatricality, and self-invention, she inhabited them. She transformed inherited symbols into a personal language of freedom.<br><br>Fini drew on classical mythology, Renaissance painting, German Romanticism, and Baroque theatricality, but never reproduced these traditions faithfully. Mythology, magic, and the occult offered her interconnected symbolic languages, which she transformed into a visual world uniquely her own.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section

In mythology, hybrids often guard thresholds between worlds. Fini was fascinated by beings that couldn&#8217;t be easily classified.<br><br>The sphinx is especially revealing. In ancient Egypt it often represented protection and royal authority; in Greek myth, the female sphinx poses a riddle and is defeated by Oedipus. Fini reverses that narrative. Her sphinxes aren\u2019t obstacles for a male hero to overcome. They possess their own authority, sensuality, and mystery. I think Fini recognized herself in the sphinx: a figure free to exist between identities, without needing to be explained.<br><br>Cats were also beloved companions in her life, not merely artistic motifs. Historically associated with divinity, witchcraft, intuition, and independence, they embody an intelligence resistant to human control. Her cats and hybrids suggest that the boundaries between ourselves and the rest of the living world may be more permeable than we imagine.<br><br>As you can see, metamorphosis is central to this world: figures hover between genders, between human and animal, and between life and death. In Ovid\u2019s <em>Metamorphoses<\/em>, beings continually exchange forms; alchemy offers another parallel, where transmutation of matter can suggest a transformation of consciousness. For me, this is the liberating promise of her work: identity isn\u2019t fixed, and art allows us to imagine another body, another identity, another world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern ' data-pattern='ho\/text-magazin-interview'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12 col-md-6 col-md-offset-6 padding-bottom-5'>\t<p class='ho-sd-body'><strong>If you could choose one work by Leonor Fini, that we should pay special attention to, which would it be, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-5 col-md-offset-7 col-xs-11 col-xs-offset-1'>\n\n<div  class='ho-tag is-primary is-small margin-bottom-3'>\t<p class='ho-tag-label'>Jessica Hundley<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>I would choose <strong>\u201c<\/strong>The Guardian of the Black Egg (La Gardienne \u00e0 l&#8217;\u0153uf noir)\u201d from 1955. It&#8217;s one of her most mysterious paintings, expressing the creative and transformative power of the feminine. The egg is an ancient symbol of creation, regeneration, and potential. In alchemy, it can represent the vessel in which transformation unfolds; blackness recalls the <em>nigredo<\/em>, a stage of dissolution before renewal.<br><br>What moves me is that the egg remains intact. It contains something unknown, still becoming, and the woman protects that possibility rather than forcing it into being. Artists, too, are guardians of ideas that haven&#8217;t yet found their form. In contrast to the spectacular imagery of magic, this painting suggests something quieter: the act of tending to possibility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern ' data-pattern='ho\/medien-bild-zentriert'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-md-offset-3 col-xs-10 col-xs-offset-1'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<figure itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.ekphrastic.net\/uploads\/1\/4\/0\/7\/14070919\/la-guardiana-del-huevo-negro-1955_orig.jpg\"\n\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"external-image-class\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\n<figcaption id=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Leonor Fini, The Guardian of the Black Egg (La Gardienne \u00e0 l&#8217;\u0153uf noir), 1955<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ekphrastic.net\/the-ekphrastic-review\/after-leonor-finis-egg-guardian-paintings-by-karen-neuberg\">ekphrastic.net<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern ' data-pattern='ho\/text-magazin-interview'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12 col-md-6 col-md-offset-6 padding-bottom-5'>\t<p class='ho-sd-body'><strong>Lastly: You yourself live in Los Angeles, a city where esotericism, spirituality, and art have always been closely intertwined.

I see affinities with Kiki Smith\u2019s mythology and animal imagery, Wangechi Mutu\u2019s hybrid figures, and Penny Slinger\u2019s explorations of sexuality and ritual, though not necessarily direct lines of influence.<br><br>In fashion, the connection is tangible. Fini collaborated with Elsa Schiaparelli on the Shocking perfume bottle, and her elaborate masks and costumes turned identity into theater. Maria Grazia Chiuri drew directly on her for Dior\u2019s Spring 2018 haute couture collection. In film, Anna Biller\u2019s <strong>\u201c<\/strong>The Love Witch\u201d shares a fascination with fantasy, eroticism, and feminist critique.<br><br>Los Angeles, with its history of image-making and spiritual experimentation, offers a compelling parallel. Marjorie Cameron explored the divine feminine, ritual, and supernatural identity; Penny Slinger connects Surrealism, mysticism, and feminism. Like Fini, these artists use images to imagine alternative realities. Fini reminds us that we\u2019re not merely inheritors of mythology. We\u2019re also its creators.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern ' data-pattern='ho\/medien-bild-zentriert'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-md-offset-3 col-xs-10 col-xs-offset-1'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<figure itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/media.mutualart.com\/Images\/2009_07\/06\/0180\/556663\/c5617705-f110-4590-8ad8-20e6c5bed7fc_g_570.Jpeg\"\n\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"external-image-class\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\n<figcaption id=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Leonor Fini, La sorci\u00e8re, 1935<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mutualart.com\/Artwork\/La-sorciere\/108D836D9863A9B5\">mutualart.com<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Witches, sphinxes, and mysterious creatures: Leonor Fini created a universe brimming with magic, mythology, and the occult.
