Ithell Colquhoun: Between Worlds
Beschrijving
Bol
Ithell Colquhoun (1906–1988) was one of the most ground-breaking artists of her generation. An important figure in British Surrealism during the 1930s and 1940s, she was also an innovative writer and practicing occultist, inspired by the metropolises of London and Paris as well as by the ancient landscape of Cornwall, but her life has largely been shrouded in mystery since her death. This dazzling volume is the first of its kind, demonstrating the full breadth of Colquhoun’s radical practice, revealing a daring visionary who charted her own course between two worlds: that of modern art and the realms of myth and magic. The first major exhibition of visionary artist Ithell Colquhoun and the first major accompanying publication on the artist. One of the most radical artists of her generation, Colquhoun was an important figure in British Surrealism during the 1930s and 1940s. An innovative writer and practicing occultist, Colquhoun charted her own course, investigating surrealist methods of unconscious picture-making and fearlessly delving into the realms of myth and magic. Colquhoun explored the possibilities of a divine feminine power as a path to personal fulfilment and societal transformation. Her understanding of the world as a connected spiritual cosmos brought her to Cornwall, where she deepened her creative explorations, inspired by the region’s ancient landscape, Celtic traditions, and sacred sites. This landmark exhibition and publication of over 200 artworks and archival materials traces Colquhoun’s evolution, from her early student work and engagement with the surrealist movement, to her fascination with the intertwining realms of art, sexual identity, ecology and occultism. It culminates in a room dedicated to Colquhoun’s interpretation of the Taro deck – her most accomplished fusion of her artistic and magical practice. Explore Colquhoun’s enthralling, multi-layered universe through writings, drawings, paintings, early theatre projects and mural designs, many of which have never been shown publicly before.
