Les Aveugles (The Blind) is another of Fini’s graphic depictions of possible lovers which obfuscates the sexes of the
participants as well as the intent of the coupling. It was chosen by Fini as the cover of the first English translation of Leonor
Fini Peinture, Constantin Jelenski, 1972, Olympia Press, New York City. The book was selected by Bob Guccione, of
Penthouse Magazine fame, as his first entry into a Penthouse driven publishing project.

Known primarily as a publisher of soft-core pornography, Guccione also owns a large and important art collection. Fini
found herself amongst masters such as Holbein, Modigliani, Picasso and Dali. Oil on canvas, 28” x 45.25”.
