Ithell Colquhoun Bonsoir - Tate Publishing

Ithell Colquhoun (19061988) Was A Force Of Nature; A Prolific Artist, Essayist, Novelist, And Poet Whose Overriding Concerns Were With Spiritual Transcendence And Union With The Divine Energy That Animated All Matter. For Her, Surrealism, Provided A Method And Framework To Explore Not Only The Deepest Reaches Of Her Own Mind, But Also To Connect With Other Beings And Dimensions. We Are Currently Witnessing A Coalescence Of Interests That Are Thrusting Colquhouns Oeuvre Into The Spotlight: A Renewed Interest In Surrealism, A Critical Commitment To Amplifying The Historical Contribution Of Women Artists, And Crucially An Interest In Esoterically Motivated Art.
