The Stone Door is one of Mexican-English painter and writer Leonora Carrington’s strangest creations, at once a symbolic tale of adventure and a veiled autobiography, celebrating her marriage to the Hungarian photographer Emérico “Chiki” Weisz. At its heart are a man and woman, around whom a series of linked, surreal episodes are woven. He is named Zacharias, and lives on the Hungarian plain; she, unnamed, resides in Mexico City. They are predestined to meet, and are each drawn to the image of a stone door which, if opened, will lead to their union.
Terminal Exposure is the first-ever collected edition of the comics of Michael McMillan, which appear alongside a selection of his sculptural works, photographs, paintings, and pages from his journals. McMillan, weaned on the underground comics scene of late 60s and early 70s San Francisco, is a raconteur and lifelong outsider whose continual artistic experimentation has pushed the boundaries of comics and fine art. McMillan’s work encompasses his passion for climbing and the California outdoors, his anarchic, take-no-prisoners sense of humor, often aimed inward, and his love for genre film of the ’30s and ’40s.
Both The Stone Door and Terminal Exposure come out today!
