Hurry Hurry Hurry, My Dolls are Waiting

Painted 1975 by Leonor Fini

Leonor Fini, in the 1960s and 70s, did beautiful paintings of little girls doing unchildish things. This is emphatically one. The child seen on the right wants to get back to playing with her dolls--who appear to be a harem of living, miniaturized adult women.

How kids see dolls? How dolls see us? How they wish they did?

Just how sexual does this play get?

"I don't paint to calm. The paintings are disturbing; I know it. All imaginative people are fearful. All is fugitive and everything makes you afraid."
