Ithell Colquhoun

One of the most radical artists of her generation, Ithell Colquhoun was an important figure in British Surrealism during the 1930s and 1940s. An innovative writer and practicing occultist, Colquhoun charted her own course, investigating surrealist methods of unconscious picture-making and fearlessly delving into the realms of myth and magic.

Combining a lifetime of esoteric study and art practice, in 1977 – while residing on the myth-soaked coast of Cornwall – the artist created her automatist interpretation of the Tarot Deck. In collaboration with our long-standing partner Tate, we are pleased to present ‘Taro as Colour’ as a collection of fine art prints.
