Lecture by Alan Read.

Fascinating as much for her life as her art, Carrington formed one corner of a typically Bloomsbury triangular relationship. Studying at the Slade from 1910, one of an extraordinary generation of modern British artists, her student work showed promise when it was unusual for a woman to succeed as a professional artist. The lecture will consider both her unconventional life, including her relationship with Lytton Strachey, and her paintings; a talent that has, perhaps, been overwhelmed by her biography.
