"The Antipope" is a famous painting by Max Ernst depicting a symbolic representation of his personal life with Peggy Guggenheim and Leonora Carrington. Despite his marriage to Guggenheim, he was deeply involved with Leonora Carrington at the time of creation of this painting, and spent hours riding horses with her. It seems plausible that the alienated horse-woman of The Antipope, who twists furtively to watch the other horse-figure, represents a vision of Guggenheim. Her irreconcilable separation from her companion is expressed graphically by the device of the diagonally positioned spear that bisects the canvas. The features of the green totemic figure resemble those of Carrington.
