Description: | Chiswick House was the country home of painter, engraver, satirist and social reformer William Hogarth from 1749. It became a museum in 1909, but closed in 1940 following the bomb damage recorded here.
Ithell Colquhoun, born in India, was a British Surrealist painter, designer and author. She studied at London's Slade School of Art and later travelled to France to study the Surrealist masters, especially Salvador Dal.
Colquhoun joined the English Surrealist Group in 1939. She was expelled one year later for not giving her unconditional support to Belgian Surrealist E L T Mesens and for refusing to abandon her research into the occult. Colquhoun moved from London to Cornwall in 1957, where she remained until her death. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Digital image Museum of London | Subjects: | London at War Art and Design Home and Family | Temporal: | 1941 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
