Dora Carrington

The artist Dora Carrington (1893-1932) was a true bohemian. Sir John Rothenstein once described her as ‘the most neglected serious painter of her time’, but Carrington – who cut her hair short and chose to be known by her surname – was a significant contributor to modern British art during the interwar years and a vital associate of the Bloomsbury Group. Bringing her artworks together, this book summons up Carrington’s whole way of life: loving, creative, domestic and intimate.
