After decades of neglect, Colquhoun's unique vision and hermetic life have become an object of great renewed interest, both for artists and for historians of magic. Although her paintings are represented in such major collections as Tate Britain and the National Portrait Gallery, Colquhoun's rejection of both avant-garde and occult orthodoxies resulted in a life of relative obscurity. Her visual and written works have only recently received adequate recognition as a precursor to contemporary experiments in magical autobiography and esoteric feminism. After rejecting the hectic social expectations and magical orthodoxies of London's art and occult scenes, Colquhoun pursued a life of dedicated spiritual and artistic enquiry embodied in her retreat to Cornwall. Genius of the Fern Loved Gully balances engaging biography with art historical erudition and critical insight into the magical systems that underscored her art and writing. 500 $a At head of title: Genius of the fern loved gully : the supersensual life of. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages [285-295]) and index. 505 0 $a Finding Colquhoun -- "Already I knew my own mind" -- "Objective hazard" : surrealism -- Atlantean currents : Celticism -- "A stream of power, set in motion" : occultism -- "More brilliant than crystal" : the legacy. 600 10 $a Colquhoun, Ithell, $d 1906-1988 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Colquhoun, Ithell, $d 1906-1988. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01774420 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Artists $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women artists $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Occultists $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Occultism $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Authors, English $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Surrealism $x History. 650 0 $a Modernism (Art) 650 7 $a Occultists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01043157 650 7 $a Occultism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01043123 650 7 $a Authors, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821945 650 7 $a Artists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00817559 650 7 $a Modernism (Art) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01024442 650 7 $a Surrealism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01139538 650 7 $a Women artists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177159 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biografie. $0 (DE-576)208867147 $0 (DE-627)104213493 $0 (DE-576)208867147 $2 gnd-content 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317031830.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=099B64B0177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
