Krátky popis
'Colquhoun's unique artistic vision shines through like at no time
in recent history' - Art UK 'Colquhoun's time-travelling survey of
Cornwall's culture and history brings ghosts and dead landscapes to
life all around you' - Stewart Lee Painter Ithell Colquhoun arrives
in Cornwall in the late 1940s, searching for a studio and a refuge
from bombed-out London. So begins a profound lifelong relationship
with Britain's westernmost county, a land surrounded by sea and
steeped in myth, where the ancient Celtic past reaches into the
present. Sacred and beautiful, wild and weird, Colquhoun's Cornwall
is a living landscape, where every tree, standing stone and holy
well is a palimpsest of folklore - and a place where everyday
reality speaks to the world beyond.Part of the Pushkin Press
Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature,
hand-picked from around the globe. With a new introduction by
Edward Parnell, the PEN Ackerley shortlisted author of Ghostland
and The Listeners Ithell Colquhoun (1906-1988) was born in British
India and brought up in the United Kingdom. She studied at the
Slade School of Fine Art and started exhibiting her paintings in
the 1930s, gaining some renown as one of the few women associated
with British Surrealism.She began visiting Cornwall during the
Second World War, and eventually moved there, continuing to write,
paint, and pursue the study of the occult until her death. As well
as The Living Stones: Cornwall, she is the author of The Crying of
the Wind: Ireland and the novel Goose of Hermogenes, both
forthcoming from Pushkin Press.
