The artists 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. She was an artist who remained true to her own vision and to the people and places that nourished her.
