Explore occultism and surrealism through the enthralling life of Ithell Colquhoun.
An important figure in British Surrealism during the 1930s and 40s, Ithell Colquhoun was one of the most radical artists of her generation.
This landmark exhibition of over 200 works of art 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 Tarot deck – her most accomplished fusion of her artistic and magical practice.
