Ithell Colquhoun: Between Worlds is the first major monograph dedicated to one of the most fascinating, yet long overlooked, voices of British Surrealism. This richly illustrated catalog accompanies the Tate exhibitions in London, bringing together more than 200 works that trace Colquhoun’s journey across painting, drawing, collage, poetry, and spiritual practice.
The book opens up her world of vivid colors, dreamlike forms, and mystical symbolism, where the subconscious blends with myth and magic. Alongside her most celebrated Surrealist canvases, readers will discover previously unseen sketches, diaries, theater designs, and experiments with tarot imagery. These materials reveal an artist who refused to be confined, constantly shifting between genres, disciplines, and realities.
Accompanying essays place Colquhoun in the wider context of European Surrealism while also highlighting her unique position as a feminist, an environmental thinker, and a seeker of spiritual knowledge. The result is both a scholarly reference and an inspiring art book, offering fresh perspectives on an artist who worked truly between worlds.
