Dora Carrington

Dora Carrington?

She was Lytton Strachey's wife or mistress or something. Also a pretty good artist, I say. Here's Strachey:


And here's E.M. Forster:
The Grove Dictionary of Art says:

She is aligned more with her Slade contemporaries than with Bloomsbury. The example of French art did not loosen her touch, and her obsession with her subject denied a more abstract perception of form. Often she is more Pre-Raphaelite than Post-Impressionist. The ‘preternatural acuteness’ that Julia Strachey observed in her view of others sharpens the fun in her letters and can give a startling intensity to her portraits and landscapes.

I'm not sure whether that means she is good or bad. Regardless, I like these portraits. I'll have to ask Abby what she thinks of them.
