- Summary:
- Ithell Colquhoun (1906-1988) was an 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. Tate holds a large collection of her works, ephemera, and writings in its archive from which this collection of collage artworks is taken and published for the first time. In 1939 Ithell Colquhoun imagined Bonsoir as a Surrealist film. She constructed a storyboard using photographs cut from popular magazines. It has remained unpublished until now.
